Yes, I think the packager(s) could avoid many broken dependencies themselves. Some just don't do their homework (as you would say) and publish SONAME upgrades without running a quick repoquery. Your conclusion is wrong, however. It's common practice to combine related builds into a single bodhi ticket, even more so when there is an explicit dependency between the packages. That explicit dependency is without comments in the spec file, which makes it a packaging bug, and it is not arch-specific either, which makes it a weak dependency. I've filed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/794983 The packager has been asked (as a hint) to publish all alsa* builds together and has rejected to do so. That's the "I choose to burn my fingers" scenario. > rel-eng had 8 years to think about this problem and to develop > appropriate strategies. They obviously didn't.
