From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030509 Description of problem: nano-1.2.1-2 in Rawhide has: BuildPrereq: ncurses-devel gpm-devel [temp1@build-rh80 BUILD]$ pwd /home/temp1/redhat/BUILD [temp1@build-rh80 BUILD]$ cd nano-1.2.1/ [temp1@build-rh80 nano-1.2.1]$ grep -r "gpm" * [temp1@build-rh80 nano-1.2.1]$ BuildRequires gpm-devel seems unnecessary. No "gpm" string anywhere in the tarball, and build is successful without gpm-devel installed. Perhaps remove gpm-devel BuildRequires? FYI: This doesn't matter much for this particular report, but Prereq and BuildPrereq are deprecated in rpm. They still work though. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nano-1.2.1-2
I believe it was added because ncurses-devel doesn't require gpm-devel, even though it's linked against it. But it doesn't make much sense now. Removed, will be in future builds.
