Description Ben Cotton 2021-07-16 16:26:53 UTC
This is a tracking bug for Change: Gconv package split in glibc
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Gconv_package_split_in_glibc

Most Gconv modules with the exception of unicode and similar essential ones have been split into a separate package called glibc-gconv-extra. Currently, the core package glibc has a strong (Requires) dependency on glibc-gconv-extra making this change transparent to users. This proposal is to weaken this dependency to Recommends so that it is possible to remove glibc-gconv-extra from installations that do not need it.

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.
