That defeats another reason to split off the libs though: reducing dependency overhead. For example, I can't remove gpm on my system because vim-enhance and mplayer both link against libgpm.so.1. I assume part of the reason to split gpm-libs off was to reduce that (having a console mouse daemon installed when all I run is X is an odd requirement). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
