From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Description of problem: This patch adds %define use_X to the spec file. This define is then used to conditionnaly turn functionnaly that needs X11 on or off. Deactivating X11 is useful for servers. redhat-lsb Requires a bunch of X11 libraries that server will never need. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-lsb-1.3-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install default fc3 2. rpm -e xorg-x11-libs Actual Results: Step 2 will fail because redhat-lsb Requires librairies that are in xorg-x11-libs. Expected Results: Be able to install a server w/o X11 libs. Additional info:

LSB 2.0 test suites need X. Any reason why you are installed redhat-lsb?
FC3 installs it by default. Aren't /lib/lsb/init-functions and the scripts in /etc/redhat-lsb necessary?
Do you mean on FC3 default installation path, or in full-installation? If it is in full-installation, user will pull down X packages anyway. If it is on default installation path, it is definitely a bug. redhat-lsb should just pull in if users install every packages on the distro.
Thanks for the report. Closing out based of the rationale.
