Also it seems where papering over autoconf bugs. autoconf used to test for one header to find a monolithic X system. Changing the BuildRequires to make the test succeed does not mean the package is fixed, since autoconf is now detecting one part of X, and not the full sheebang it expects. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
