Description Darren Patterson 2009-05-04 22:39:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
The rpm package incorrectly requires the logrotate package.  All packages should (hopefully) be log rotation package agnostic. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL5

How reproducible:
Every time.

Expected results:
The logrotate package should be uninstallable.
Comment 1 Panu Matilainen 2010-11-15 10:54:32 UTC 
This is fixed in RHEL 6 by splitting the cron related functionality into rpm-cron sub-package. Such rearrangement is not appropriate in RHEL 5 however.
