Description
**[Mark Hobson](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=mihobson)** opened **[MRELEASE-763](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-763?redirect=false)** and commented
`release:prepare` completes successfully on projects that contain invalid dependencies in inactive profiles.
For example, a POM containing the following profile containing a non-existent dependency will prepare without problems:
```
...
silly
silly
silly
1.0
...
```
Furthermore, if this dependency was changed to a SNAPSHOT version then it would still succeed. I would expect `prepare` to fail in both cases.
