Description udo 2016-08-25 13:38:03 UTC

Description of problem:
Dependency choices were wrong. There is no fpc on this box, so why install this rpm?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fpc-srpm-macros-1.0-1.fc24.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:
dnf update


Actual results:
rpm installed

Expected results:
rpm not installed due to sane reasoning on dependencies with fpc.

Additional info:
Please explain the current situation to me.

Comment 1 Mattia Verga 2016-09-02 11:44:52 UTC

fpc-srpm-macros is required by redhat-rpm-config and not by fpc.

It's used on build machines to list all architectures where fpc is available. You probably got the latest update of redhat-rpm-config on your machine that now requires fpc-srpm-macros.

Comment 2 udo 2016-09-02 12:28:22 UTC

Then why is fpc-labelled stuff required on machines where fpc is not present?
Why is labelled this way? As you notice via this bug it confusing and feeding the idea of dependency-hell.
Unnecessary stuff it is, I removed the rpm and all works fine.
