That package is installed. This also applies to RHEL3 and RHEL4b2.
In fact, pango could better use %_target i.s.o. %_host, as %_target
*is* indenpendent of the specific build host, but the question is
why %_host is evaluated this way in the RH builds.
THe issue with pango is perhaps subtle.
In a multilib environment, pango was one of about 6 or so packages that had to change because of path collisions.
The fix was to create a per-platform directory.
How that directory is named, and how the path is determined, have nothing
whatsoever to do with the original problem that needed to be solved, i.e.
changing the path so that components were not clobbered in a multilib environment.
For example, the paths /etc/pango/ringo /etc/pango/john could have been used ;-)
