From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: The spec file for redhat-config-network-1.0.4-0.AS21.1 now requires gnome-core for some of the .so files it builds. This is also why it has changed from a noarch package to a i386 package. It now adds the following depedencies to redhat-config-network (which didn't exist before). gnome-core control-center gdk-pixbuf-gnome libgnomeprint15 sawfish GConf aumix gnome-print gnome-vfs librep oaf rep-gtk rep-gtk-gnome xscreensaver Please make something similar like redhat-config-printer-tui for network interfaces--- redhat-config-network-tui would be nice.. Netconfig is not adequate-- it does not retreive previous settings and is not a very good interface. It seems extreme to require those 14 packages to configure my network interface with a decent tool. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-network-1.0.4-0.AS21.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try up2dating redhat-config-network without have Gnome installed. Additional info: I have an service request number with the Web Support team which you can view to get additional information : 233713
this dependency was removed in 9 there is now: redhat-config-network and redhat-config-network-tui
Oh that's, great, I guess I should upgrade my Red Hat AS installations to Red Hat 9 then, eh? This was a RFE for Enterprise Linux, not the free distro, thanks.
well, the next version of the Enterprise Linux will of course have that, too :)

How about instead of us forcing to upgrade to another OS that you guys actually fix the issue at hand? What's next, the kernel is going to require KDE? The package did not require Gnome before, it should not require it now, as well as those other libraries. What we have now is a mistake by your Errata developers.
that's right.. the dependency was forgotten in the first place... but slipped in as this was corrected.
So what is RedHat's direction on this package? Do we not include it as part of our Quartely patch upgrade? Is the fixed package going to be rebuilt as the original or are we going to be forced to install additional packages to satisfy its dependencies?
