Description Igor Raits 2019-07-21 11:11:54 UTC 
Hello,

Fedora Packaging Guidelines allow dependencies only on files/directories from /usr/bin, /usr/sbin and /etc directories[0].
Your package depends on files/directories outside of those. See below for more information about package/dependencies.

---
sing-1.1-17.fc30.src:
  - /usr/include/pcap.h
---

Please correct those or provide reason why is it correct.
It is very important to not download huge filelists.xml just because few packages in distribution depend on non-standard paths.

Thanks for cooperation!

Given you highlighted a BuildRequires, the argumentation regarding filelists.xml is questionable. Changed nevertheless, given it's a relict.
