This is intentional. Is there any particular problem this is causing?

Comment 2 jiri vanek 2015-10-16 09:45:31 UTC
Cyclic dependencies are possible traps. So one of us should remove requires.
What javapackages-tools needs jvm for?

And seocndly.. What does I need i for in openjdk.

# Require javapackages-tools for ownership of /usr/lib/jvm/
Requires: javapackages-tools

Looks still valid, but cant it be done better?

With cyclic dependency like this it is not possible any more to have a machine prepared for offline testing of locally built jdk packages. It was possible before.

Comment 4 Mikolaj Izdebski 2015-10-19 11:30:27 UTC
After further investigation I see that this is indeed a bug. javapackages-tools doesn't have explicit requires on java-headless in spec file, but this requirement was generated automatically by our dependency generators. I will fix this by filtering generated dependencies.
