Comment 1 Alasdair Kergon 2010-08-19 06:51:26 EDT

The dependencies are kept minimal.  You need the udev files in place to make any use of device-mapper in Fedora now, we will not support any users without dmsetup being installed anyway and the documentation files have to be there too.

Comment 2 Jasper O'neal Hartline 2010-08-19 07:28:35 EDT

I have device-mapper installed, just not a version yum-builddep on anaconda.src.rpm file wanted. I don't see how needing device-mapper-devel to build anaconda against requires device-mapper at all.

Comment 3 Alasdair Kergon 2010-08-19 08:00:14 EDT

Fedora doesn't distinguish between packages installed only to be built against and packages installed actually to be used.  You'd need a way to distinguish between 'install this package to compile against but I promise I will never actually run any of the contents because I know there are dependencies missing and things will break if I try that' and 'install this package actually to be used including all its runtime requirements'.

If you know what you are doing, manage the dependencies yourself with --nodeps.
