Don't know the specifics of this case, but in general when you're trying to extract something that multiple packages have embedded like this, you need to create a package of the shared resource and then ensure that each package which is currently embedding it is adjusted to use the system-wide version. Sometimes the build process is already capable of doing this and it's just a case of doing whatever you have to do (BuildRequires, configure parameters...) to tell it to use it, sometimes you'll have to patch it and send the patch upstream. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
