Description Igor Raits 2019-07-21 11:11:02 UTC

Hello,

Fedora Packaging Guidelines allow dependencies only on files/directories from /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /etc directories[0].
Your package depends on files/directories outside of those. See below for more information about package/dependencies.

---
krb5-server-1.17-36.fc31.x86_64:
  - /usr/share/dict/words
---

Please correct those or provide reason why is it correct.
It is very important to not download huge filelists.xml just because few packages in distribution depend on non-standard paths.

Thanks for cooperation!

This is correct dependency due to a fix to rhbz#817089

    - have -server require /usr/share/dict/words, which we set as the default dict_file in kdc.conf (#817089)

It affects kadmind operations for password quality checks which use words database unless deployed as part of FreeIPA master.
