I would, but such a line does not exist. The only Require-Bundle line has org.apache.xerces Further, I am assuming that the script driving these deps is /usr/lib/rpm/osgideps.pl , and I get this: $ echo /usr/share/java/xalan-j2.jar | /usr/lib/rpm/osgideps.pl --requires osgi(org.apache.xerces) so I don't really understand where the system.bundle requirement is coming from.
