Description Chris Weyl 2009-08-03 06:07:45 UTC
Running "yum install swig" from my F-10 system, I see:

Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package swig.x86_64 0:1.3.39-1.fc10 set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: perl(example) for package: swig-1.3.39-1.fc10.x86_64
--> Processing Dependency: perl(it) for package: swig-1.3.39-1.fc10.x86_64
--> Processing Dependency: perl(the) for package: swig-1.3.39-1.fc10.x86_64
--> Processing Dependency: perl(argv) for package: swig-1.3.39-1.fc10.x86_64
...etc, etc...

Looks like dependencies/provides of everything under %_docdir needs to be filtered.  This package is completely uninstallable as is; I'm marking as "severity: urgent" as this is very user-visible, and breaks upgrading.

The FPC just approved packaging macros that can help with this; see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering for more information.  I'm not sure if the new macros have been deployed via redhat-rpm-config yet, however.
