From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308 Description of problem: hal has missing build dependency on hwdata. It will not compile without it. python is not needed for a BuildRequires because python-devel requires python to be installed. I deleted the requirement for docbook-dtds. The config file looks for it and works without it. I also found a problem in that gobject was not being linked against. The problem comes from the configure.in file not having it specified. But since autoconf is not called from the specfile, I chose to just fix configure. I will attach 2 patches that fix all the above issues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.2.97 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpmbuild -bb hal.spec Actual Results: Various message about something missing or linking errors. Expected Results: A message saying where the rpm was written. Additional info:

Reasigned to Dave. He is the new maintainer of the hal packages. Configure.in patches should go upsteam.
I've applied the configure.in patch upstream and the hal.spec to the package. Should appear in Rawhide with the next update. Thanks for the patches.
