Created attachment 626578 [details] Patch for dropping libxml2 dependency expat and libxml2 dependencies are mutually exclusives in fontconfig but the actual package depends on both. The mainstream spec (fontconfig.spec) depends only on expat (expat-devel) and I think the same should be for this one. Attached the (untested) patch to depend only on expat: fill free to ignore it if it does not follow your guidelines.
Hi, The current mingw32-fontconfig/mingw64-fontconfig packages only depend on expat and not on libxml2: $ rpm --query --requires mingw32-fontconfig mingw32(kernel32.dll) mingw32(libexpat-1.dll) mingw32(libfontconfig-1.dll) mingw32(libfreetype-6.dll) mingw32(msvcrt.dll) mingw32(user32.dll) mingw32-crt mingw32-filesystem >= 83 pkgconfig rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 The additional BR for libxml2 in the mingw-fontconfig therefore isn't used during the build and can be removed safely. I'll commit your patch to rawhide, but I won't push updated packages to Fedora 17/18 as the end result remains the same: fontconfig only depends on expat
Updated package built for rawhide
