Description of problem: The octave rpm unnecessarily "Requires: info texinfo" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): octave-2.1.71-14.fc4 Expected results: AFAICT, there is no need to let octave depend on info nor texinfo Fix: Remove these two requires from the spec.
Octave does indeed require texinfo. Most of the internal help text is texinfo formatted. See bug #101299 for an example of what happens when octave is installed without texinfo. If texinfo implies a dependency on info, I am willing to remove info from the dependency list, but the texinfo dependency needs to stay.
