Sorry... I now suspect the problem may be at my end libSM-devel was installed, and seems to be providing /usr/include/X11/SM/SMlib.h Am investigating... Yes, problem is at my end: "rpm -q -requires libXt-devel" gives: libSM-devel libX11-devel libXt = 0.99.2-3 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 and libSM-devel provides the required file. Sorry for the noise. Something's gone wrong here, dunno if it's at my end or yours: rpm -V libSM-devel ........C /usr/include/X11 missing /usr/include/X11/SM missing /usr/include/X11/SM/SM.h missing /usr/include/X11/SM/SMlib.h missing /usr/include/X11/SM/SMproto.h ........C /usr/lib/libSM.so ........C /usr/lib/pkgconfig ........C /usr/lib/pkgconfig/sm.pc reinstalling the package seems to have fixed it, so I suspect some kind of snafu at my end; keeping as CLOSED NOTABUG. The problem is a monolithic X to modular X upgrade problem which goes away if you reinstall the package. It's due to /usr/include/X11 being a symlink in monolithic X, and the modular rpm installing through the symlink into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/include, then the symlink being removed. The files vanish from rpm context, but are "lost" to package management under the X11R6 hierarchy. That is only a temporary problem tho which will be resolved somewhat in test2, once I have a dependency on xorg-x11-filesystem added to all library -devel packages. Systems which upgraded from FC4 or earlier to test1, or to rawhide prior to the fixes will have the "lost" files described above, and require manual upgrading. Once everything is fixed for test2 though, FC4 and earlier systems will upgrade correctly in theory as far as the FC included packages are concerned, however non-X packages that have abused the filesystem and installed their wares into X owned include dir, will lose bigtime. ;) So, this problem is X packaging related and due to rpm limitations, but we've got a workaround in the works that got delayed due to RHEL3/4 update cycle which should hit rawhide in a few days.
