See the report at https://churchyard.fedorapeople.org/orphans-2019-08-05.txt
Grep ti for your FAS username and follow the dependency chain.

Miro, thank you for generating these reports.

I see that javapackages-tools is still on the list (because it depends on gradle)
and that in turn brings problems for lot of other packages.

So I wonder what the plan forward is. I've been looking at my own packages
which depend on javapackages-tools and they really only need 2 things:

1) javapackages-filesystem
2) %jpackage_script macro (and it deps)

Looking at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java this is pretty much
the minimum set of what packages need to follow the guidelines. It seems that
javapackages-tools contains way more then this and I'm wondering if it would
be a good idea to do a javapackages-tools-minimal as a separate package and
move the 2 items from above there. Then over time we can move java-packages
in the base package set to use javapackages-tools-minimal and eventually drop
the full javapackages-tools from the base package set.

In the mean time I guess we need to fix the gradle problem to fix all these
broken dependency chains for F31, I guess ideally by dropping the gradle dep if
possible...

Miro, it seems that the full report is still not picking up all the additional
problems caused by javapackage-tools also being the sole provider of\
javapackages-filesystem ?

Unfortunately, I won't be able to fix this any time soon.
