Description of problem: This package requires emacs-el for no apparent reason as far as I can tell. Certainly the auctex package from the auctex homepage doesn't require the source el files to be installed, and I see no reason that it should? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 11.55-4.fc4 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install emacs-auctex pulls in emacs-el 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Hi Jonathan, the emacs-auctex package must Require a package that provides the directory "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp" since it places a lot of content within that location. Since the emacs-el and emacs-common packages both seem to provide that dir, I've filed a blocker bug (167570) in order to sort it out.
Then I suggest requiring emacs-common rather than emacs-el. emacs-el is really just for people who hack/grok elisp and want to have all the elisp source installed. Alternatively you could just let emacs-auctex own site-lisp/ or both. :)
Well I would recommend owning site-lisp/ anyway. :)
I just built 11_55-5_fc4 and 11_55-5_fc5 versions that require emacs-common instead of emacs-el. So its fixed. And thanks to Jens for the dir ownership explanation. I was mistaken about how dir ownership works and will keep that in mind for future packages.
