Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.1-1

Since gnutls includes a c++ wrapper nowdays the gnutls base package is dependent on libstdc++.so.6

I use gnutls in some environments when it is nice to keep the number of installed packages to a 
minimum, and so far very few use the c++ part of gnutls.

Because of this it would be oh so nice to have the c++ library libgnutlsxx.so.* in a separate 
subpackage.

This bug has been triaged

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2011-07-26 10:40:44 UTC
Fixed. I split only the base package and left the -devel package as is as the -devel environment will most probably contain the c++ libraries anyway.
