Description of problem: Trying to install java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless drags javapackages-tools as dependency. Trying to install javapackages-tools drags java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless as dependency. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless 1.8.0.60-14.b27.f23 javapackages-tools 4.6.0-6.fc23 How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install javapackages-tools and look at list of depdencies. 2. dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless and look at list of dependencies. Actual results: System will have both javapackages-tools and java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless. Expected results: System with all the dependencies for offline java installation. Additional info:
This is intentional. Is there any particular problem this is causing?
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?
(In reply to Mikolaj Izdebski from comment #1) > This is intentional. Is there any particular problem this is causing? 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.
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.
