Looking at https://tiny.distro.builders/view-rpm--view-eln--pcre-devel.html and https://tiny.distro.builders/view-rpm--view-eln--pcre.html and comparing what's being required - only pcre-devel from webkitgtk (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/webkitgtk/blob/rawhide/f/webkitgtk.spec#_82), but no runtime requirement, then I would say that the build requirement is some old one and could be dropped. I'm starting the x86_64 scratch build with the BR dropped - https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=101860796 to confirm it.

The build succeeded, so we're able to drop the dependency.

Comment 3 Tomas Popela 2023-06-14 10:53:37 UTC

Dropped it with https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/webkitgtk/c/97d8057b53649359832ce20f7d1df6596945240f?branch=rawhide, but I didn't make a new build to not stress the infra too much so it will be fixed with next update.
