gettext rpm depends on libgcj

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/6.1 (Linux 2.4.20-pre10-ac1 i686; U) [en] Description of problem: the gettext rpm (at least for i386, but i'd guess for others too) depends in libgcj. While this is not a bug, with libgcj having a respectable size (25462079 according to rpm -qi) and surely not being used by everything that uses gettext (mostly autogen.sh and source tarballs the GNU autotools chain) I'd suggest this dependency to be removed... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. do not install either gettext or libgcj 2. download gettext-0.11.4-3.i386.rpm 3. rpm -i gettext-0.11.4-3.i386.rpm Actual Results: rpm cmplaind about missing dependency "libgcj.so.3" Expected Results: gettext surely works without libgcj, too. Additional info:
The library dependancy is not something that set in spec file. It automatically add it whatever it requires in the code. I supsect is the gettext for java require that. I don't think we could delete java support.
