Do you think they’re not needed, or are you sure they’re not needed?
I think and find occurrences of this, another example:
# rpm -q --requires krb5-devel | grep libselinux-devel
libselinux-devel
but an application using krb5-devel doesn't need to link with selinux
directly. Another email on this thread point that some are needed for
headers, but krb5-devel headers doesn't includes selinux headers
# rpm -ql krb5-devel | grep \\.h$ | xargs grep -l selinux
<None>
# grep Requires.private /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libselinux.pc
Requires.private: libsepol libpcre2-8
Sorry, This case isn't Requires.private related, it is a harcoded
dependency [1]
Requires: keyutils-libs-devel, libselinux-devel
In summary:
1) filtering Requires.private may be left broken packages because some
headers use headers from other packages, even when the library is only
private. Looks difficult to automate the detection of what devel
packages really need other packages headers.
2) Some devel packages are adding extra unneeded dependencies directly
to the spec file.
