I thought that the problem was much larger. I either > miscalculated the number of file dependencies or there is no problem :) And the same metrics for extras: 26 files required by 27 packages out of 3660 packages: chess clamav-devel ctapi-cyberjack cvs2cl em8300-devel freefont ftnchek-emacs gnash-plugin libibverbs-devel mimetex mozilla-opensc-signer openbox openct pcsc-perl perl-Image-Info pyxdg SoQt-devel tuxpaint util-vserver util-vserver-legacy util-vserver-sysv uuid-devel uuid-pgsql uuid-php w3c-markup-validator-libs x11-ssh-askpass xmms That's again 0.7%, so the combined Fedora is at 0.7%, too.
