Two of my packages appear in the list. One is mona. It provides a
handful of libraries, which have dependencies between them; i.e.,
library 1 is linked to library 2 which is linked to library 3, etc.
So every library but the top-level one appears in the automatically
generated Requires. The other is check. I have no idea what is going
on there. If anyone has a clue, clue me in, please.
Isn't part of the problem that /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires doesn't
filter out the files it examines from its result set? That seems to
be what is happening with mona.
Yes! And that's what I was suggesting be fixed.
I was also asking packagers to make sure they are not accidentally
setting an explicit require that they don't actually need.
that's all.
