Description of problem: Development packages which provide .pc files often require .pc files (and headers, and libraries) provided by other development packages. Fedora Core's pkgconfig package (at least as of 1:0.15.0-6) can be used to query this information. It would be useful if the RPM recorded this dependency information in packages so that it could be tracked. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.4.1-21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install pygtk2-devel, uninstall glib2-devel. 2. Attempt to compile anything using pygtk2's pygobject-2.0.pc file. 3. Scratch your head in confusion. Actual results: Failure to link. Expected results: Successful link, or a dependency between pygtk2-devel and glib2-devel at least getting in your way. Additional info: Scripts for extracting requires/provides information are in bugzilla as attachment #112736 [details] and attachment #112737 [details], attached to bug #153936.
Scripts added to rpm-4_4 CVS, no plumbing yet.
Fixed in cvs, will be oin rpm-4.4.3-0.38 when built.
