This lesstif package violates rule #1 of FE: "FE packages must not replace FC package".

Ralf Once again: This fundamentalic religious zealotry is harmful to Fedora - You guys are degrading Fedora from a once usable distro into an RPM based Debian. _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
