I'm confused by the Requires for redhat-lsb-core.
According to "dnf repoquery --requires redhat-lsb-core" there is no
requirement for esmtp. But according to "dnf repoquery --whatrequires
esmtp", redhat-lsb-core does require esmtp.
Perhaps there is some sort of transitive requirement that the above
commands don't show, but the curious thing is that I have
redhat-lsb-core installed on my F37 machine, and that didn't pull in
esmtp.
Please open a bug report , I'm reviewing redhat-lsb [1] , this package is so old that still called redhat ...
Anyone suggest another name ?
I'm happy to write a bug. Do you prefer something along the lines of "Split lsb_release into a subpackage" or perhaps "Split redhat-lsb-core into finer-grained subpackages"?
For me, having an lsb_release subpackage would be best, because that is all I need for KiCad. But I'll also pursue Neal's comment about changing wxWidgets to get the info another way.

Why do I care? Well, KiCad now Recommends redhat-lsb-core to help
with upstream bug reports (wx uses redhat-lsb-core to report OS info).
Since I added "Recommends: redhat-lsb-core" to KiCad, some users are
now apparently also getting esmtp, which they really don't need/want.
I don't understand that. Why are some users getting esmtp when they
install KiCad, yet I didn't get esmtp when I installed KiCad?
A bigger question would be how to restructure OS information
gathering, since redhat-lsb-core does pull in a lot of stuff, but that
is a question for another day...
The problem is lsb specification it self is very outdated, last version is LSB 5.0, released June 3, 2015.
