You didn't answer the question. Why does the -libs package require the tools? Do the libraries need the tools?! I see that the OpenEXR-libs.i386 "Requires: OpenEXR = ..." is satisfied by OpenEXR.x86_64, but why the dependency? What do you find "clean" about it? WRT multi-lib, it would also work to have just -devel requires -libs and be done. Just because of the dependency on the main package, optional example programs are installed and cannot be removed. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
