Description of problem: redhat-lsb currently requires redhat-lsb-graphics as a hard dependency. redhat-lsb-graphics hauls in a whole boatload of graphical desktop libraries that really are quite unnecessary for a headless machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.0-3 Actual results: I *have* to install redhat-lsb-graphics and all of the GUI libraries that hauls in if I wan the basic redhat-lsb package. Expected results: I should be able to get the facilities of the redhat-lsb package without loading all of GTK, QT and X11 on my headless server.

Could this be resolved by providing a separate redhat-lsb-core? See also bug 835919.
