Description Joachim Frieben 2015-10-01 08:44:55 UTC
Description of problem:
The official Motif library landed in the Fedora package repository three years ago. Unlike packages like dx, package xbae still depends on lesstif which is a broken, incomplete and abandoned implementation of Motif.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xbae-4.60.4-20.fc23

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install package xbae.

Actual results:
Package lesstif will be pulled in.

Expected results:
Package motif gets pulled in.

Additional info:
- A locally built package xbae depending on motif (actually, lesstif-(devel) has been replaced by motif-(devel) in the spec file) works as expected.
- Package lesstif should be removed from Fedora altogether since even its own developers urge users to move to Motif.
