Description Felix Friedlander 2025-05-01 09:28:24 UTC
Description of problem:
In the upgrade to proj 9.6.0 (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/proj/c/625f19925cd519bf64fec9fa0b5e44edcb992ca2), completion files for bash were added - a welcome new feature. As part of this change, the package gained a dependency on the bash-completion package.

As best I can tell, this is not normal for Fedora packages; most packages that provide bash-completion files within the main package (e.g. iproute, tmux, inkscape) have no such dependency. (After all, the user(s) may not even be using bash as their interactive shell.)

I tested building the proj package with the dependency removed, and it still seemed to build OK.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
9.6.0-1.fc42

Actual results:
proj depends on bash-completion

Expected results:
proj does not depend on bash-completion

Comment 1 Sandro Mani 2025-05-02 07:46:56 UTC
The dependency was added solely for directory-ownership reasons, but as the directory is actually also owned by the filesystem package, the dependency is indeed unnecessary. I'll remove it.
