Description

Fedora is designed this way. RPM dependencies and the way we use them are to ensure reproducibility, which we believe is one important aspect of stability. Most of our users are accepting of this. However in some cases we do explicitly remove dependencies if they are seemingly unnecessary. If you have specific complaints about a certain package, then please file bugs against that package. If you want to change the fundamental way that rpm works, then Bugzilla is an inappropriate medium for such discussion. However there have been hundreds of such discussions in the past and all of have been rejected. You personally may be happier running a different distribution like Debian which has a different design philosophy. |
