The part of my original message you quoted above explains why I think it doesn't matter if touch is available at %postun time or not (my assumption is that coreutils can't be removed while gtk2 or kdelibs is installed). If I'm correct and it doesn't matter, "Requires(postun): coreutils" is just unnecessary bloat in repodata, rpmdb and spec files. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
