Description of problem: R package fails to build/install due to missing texinfo-tex package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): R-2.2.1-5.fc6.src.rpm How reproducible: 1005 Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpmbuild --rebuild source.rpm or rpmbuild -bb spec.file Actual results: Build fails with warning: error: Failed build dependencies: texinfo-tex is needed by R-2.2.1-5.ia64 Expected results: Build should complete. Additional info: I'm unsure if this is a bug or not -- IMO, all packages required to build a Fedora Extra should be in Extras ... but that might not be canon with fedoraproject.
Not just Fedora Extras, but also Fedora Core... which is where texinfo-tex resides. The devel/ branch points to rawhide for its builds, if you don't use rawhide, you won't have texinfo-tex in Core, but if you do, it's there.
