IIRC, the chain from a pkg from ExceptionList to gawk was quiote long (I tried to figure out a few months ago). If you suppose an existence of something, there should be a known short sequience of dependencies which guarantees that the feature is available. For example, you can take ld for granted, because binutils are required by gcc. (Yet it might be better to add binutils to ExceptionList.) OTOH, I think that each package which installs *.info manual should BuildRequire: info or /sbin/install-info. Currently, the program is installed, because many packages (e.g., coreutils and diffutils) have Requires(post): /sbin/install-info But who knows, that requirement may change in the future. So unless "info" is added to the ExceptionList, you should better BuildRequire: /sbin/install-info With the above in mind, I would really prefer to add things like binutils to the ExceptionList, and stating that whatever is not explicitly listed has to be BuildRequired, as was proposed in another mail in this thread.
