Really? No excuse at all? http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/pkgdepend.html Granted the VMware example is not LSB conformant, but the LSB Core spec specifically says: "Packages shall not depend on other system-provided dependencies." Which brings up the following question: Does anyone in Fedora-land actually work with the LSB? I see the redhat-lsb package in the distro which would seem to imply conformance, but I also see a lot of opinions like the above expressed as hard fact that clearly fly in the face of what the LSB mandates.
