Or maybe it was removed from fedora core prior to fc3 and the new diskdumputils package has a packaging error. The diskdumputils specfile has an explicit requires on devlabel but devlabel hasnt been available in rawhide afaict since before fc3 release....hmmmm. The package changlog summaries for diskdumputils don't explicitly indicate why the requires on devlabel was recreated. The only mention in the changelog of anything relevant to devlabel (when compared to the devlabel in fc2) is from sep 2004 right around the time devlabel was removed from rawhide... double hmmmm. Sep 03 2004 - Always load scsi_dump and ide-dump because scsi_uniq_id becomes obsolete. scsi_uniq_id is provided by the devlabel package in fc2 and according to the build reports generated to this list devlabel was dropped from rawhide on 20040928. Furthermore i'm doing a grep of all the files in the diskdumputils and im not seeing any references to anything devlabel related. Perhaps someone with better cvs foo than I can delve into the cvs tree for diskdumputils and see if adding the devlabel requires back in actually makes any sense at all. Personally a think an rhel specific Requires on devlabel got accidentally added into the rawhide tree for diskdumputils, and its already filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=150165 -jef
