Description Michael Schwendt 2011-06-28 12:49:01 UTC

thunderbird-3.1.11-1.fc16.src
is missing
BuildRequires: nss-static

[...]

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries_2

If a library you depend on only provides a static version your package can link against it provided that you BuildRequire the *-static subpackage. Packagers in such a situation should be aware that if a shared library becomes available, that you should adjust your package to use the shared library.

It would be nice if you could tell us which files triggered your script to file this bug for this component. Could you indicate the problematic files for us, please?

Thank you

According to the koji build logs which are evaluated, 

  -lcrmf

which is a static-only library.
