Could be an easy one nevertheless as it is not the library but just a subpackage that adds the dependency: # repoquery --whatrequires librsvg2|grep cairo cairo-clock-0:0.3.4-5.fc15.x86_64 Perhaps the clock can be disabled at build-time easily. A switch added to the spec file could then also disable the subpackage. -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) - Linux 3.1.0-0.rc8.git0.0.fc16.x86_64 loadavg: 0.05 0.03 0.05 -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
