Hi all, Some packages with very odd file deps - I wanted to check on. I was going through the tree looking for packages that had file deps that did not match: *bin/* /etc/* so here is what I found - some of these are odd: dia-0.92.2-3.1.i386.rpm /usr/share/desktop-menu-patches/redhat-diagrams.desktop this file is part of redhat-menus and apparently nothing else - why not just depend off of that? xmms-1.2.10-2.p.i386.rpm /usr/share/desktop-menu-patches/redhat-audio-player.desktop ditto of above. gdm-2.6.0.0-2.i386.rpm /usr/share/desktop-menu-patches/gnome-gdmsetup.desktop ditto of above. gnome-session-2.6.0-1.i386.rpm /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/gnome-splash.png - in fedora-logs httpd-2.0.49-2.i386.rpm /usr/share/magic.mime - part of file - why not depend on that? inn-2.3.5-9.i386.rpm /usr/lib/news/lib/innshellvars.pl - this file is actually provided by inn. :) openldap-servers-2.1.29-1.i386.rpm /usr/share/openldap/migration/migrate_common.ph - this file is provided by openldap-servers :) openmotif-2.2.3-2.i386.rpm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB - xorg-x11-libs-data - kinda lengthy but why not list it? redhat-lsb-1.3-1.i386.rpm /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd /usr/lib/lsb/remove_initd - these are both provided by redhat-lsb rhn-applet-2.1.7-1.1.i386.rpm /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT - how about depending on up2date instead? spamassassin-2.63-7.i386.rpm /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 - depending on 'perl' is just not ok? stunnel-4.05-1.i386.rpm /usr/share/dict/words - this one baffles me - why does stunnel depend on this? vim-enhanced-6.2.457-1.i386.rpm /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi xchat-2.0.7-5.i386.rpm /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi why do these two depend on a directory? thoughts on these? I'll be glad to fix the spec files up and get rid of these file deps. -sv
