Description of problem: kdebase3 is defined as a BuildRequire and a Require in konversation.spec. Is there a reason for this? It also builds fine without it an I don't see a direct require on kdebase3 or kdebase3-libs in %configure output or "rpm -q --requires konversation". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): konversation-1.0.1-4.fc9 Additional info: konversation is the only application on the current rawhide live images that requires kdebase3 (and kdebase3-libs). If it's not needed we have some free space for other packages.
The BuildRequires only needs to be kdelibs3-devel however the requires is there so that help works. it ensures khelpcenter is installed
Re: khelpcenter, see also bug #435133
OK, the approach we're going to try taking (the same as gnome does) for online help/documentation browser, in that it will *not* a hard dependency. In the meantime, we'll explore the option of splitting khelpcenter out (of kdebase, kdebase-runtime respectively). %changelog * Mon Mar 10 2008 Rex Dieter <rdieter> - 1.0.1-5 - drop Requires: kdebase3 (#435873)
FYI, khelpcenter is now fully provided by kdebase-runtime, including the KDE 3 service .desktop for KDE 3 apps.
