Description of problem: New XFree86 requires development package pam-devel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.1-13.73.3 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -Fvh XFree86-* 2. 3. Actual results: pam-devel is needed by XFree86-4.2.1-13.73.3 Expected results: <nothing but hashes> Additional info:
Same thing on RHL8.0 with 4.2.1-20, and is the -xf86cfg subpackage just gone?
Indeed. Looks like a bad Requires line. Requires: pam-devel should be: Requires: pam I'll fix it internally in case there ends up being further erratum in the future, but it isn't itself worthy of another XFree86 update for one small issue.
This is now fixed in 4.2.1-21, which will be released as erratum for Red Hat Linux 8.0 very soon due to another more serious issue reported in bug #98082 which requires an immediate fix due to the massive package sizes. Since the src.rpm is now shared between Red Hat Linux 7.3 and 8.0, I pull off 8.0 when doing erratum, so any future 7.3 updates that are warranted will automatically get this fix as well, so I'm closing this issue as resolved in ERRATA for Red Hat Linux 8.0 for now even though it's reported against 7.3.
