Bug 2142931

As mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2119807#c20, the xorg-x11-font-utils package doesn't exist anymore, as it was deaggregated into several subpackages.

It does indeed seem like the tigervnc package still BuildRequires xorg-x11-font-utils (https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/tigervnc/-/blob/c9s/tigervnc.spec#L45) which should be fixed. Moving to the tigervnc component so the spec file can be updated

As I mentioned on that bug, that doesn't seem to be true. DNF cannot find the relevant file in any package. I.e. /usr/share/aclocal/fontutil.m4.

Something needs to provide XORG_FONT_MACROS_VERSION for Xorg's configure.ac to work.

[test@ibm-p8-kvm-03-guest-02 ~]$ sudo dnf install /usr/share/aclocal/fontutil.m4

Is this ok [y/N]: 

the xorg-x11-font-utils package needs to be shipped in CRB.

It does exists - https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/xorg-x11-font-utils/-/blob/c9s/xorg-x11-font-utils.spec

For the archives, I've just file a bug to remove xorg-x11-font-utils from the xserver's dependency list. It provides very little value and we can easily do this ourselves. See Bug 2145088 for details.

Porting this to RHEL9 may be the best solution here instead of exposing a package that's not really needed in the CRB.
