It's because what's being searched is the database of files provided by a package. The package doesn't actually provide the symlink (that's in the separate `filesystem` package), and so there's no match. To figure it out, the depsolver would have to also look at all of the other packages for symlinks and decide if they're relevant to your query. (Or, it could have a special kludge in place for this particular case, as yum does. But getting rid of kludges like that was, for better or worse, a design goal.) -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
