Hi,

Just found that on some minimal system it is not possible to remove some rpm subpackages.

* Current state

# rpm -qa | grep rpm
rpm-libs-4.14.2.1-4.fc30.1.x86_64
rpm-4.14.2.1-4.fc30.1.x86_64
python3-rpm-4.14.2.1-4.fc30.1.x86_64
rpm-build-libs-4.14.2.1-4.fc30.1.x86_64
rpm-sign-libs-4.14.2.1-4.fc30.1.x86_64

python3-rpm is required by dnf so it is really hard to have manageable system without that part (however in extreme cases it is still possible to drop completely dnf).

Yes and the split in all its painfullness is exactly to support those minimal environments where there's no python, no dnf etc.


Problem is that on minimal system rpm-sign-libs and rpm-build-libs theoretically should be not needed, however because python module in current form combines in single package all its three DSOs:

# rpm -ql python3-rpm | grep so$
/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpm.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so <http://rpm.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so> /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpmb.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so <http://rpmb.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so> /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/rpm/_rpms.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so <http://rpms.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so> it causes that it is not possible to use only core rpm package management on minimal system.
I think that it would be good to split python3-rpm into python3-rpm{,b,s}.

That's one possibility but hasn't been done because it makes it even more painful, and actually the build part would be dragged in by the builddep dnf plugin anyway.
