I have a package (openvrml) that's failing to build on F-9:        http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1254875&name=build.log The build log indicates that the pkg-config check for libgnomeui is failing.  In configure.ac, that check looks like:        PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GNOMEUI], [libgnomeui-2.0 libgnome-2.0 >= 2.14], ,                          [have_gnomeui=no]) The specfile does have:        BuildRequires:  libgnomeui-devel >= 2.14 This is succeeding for F-10 and devel; and it *used* to work for F-9. Why would it be failing now?

Some days ago I've had exactly the same problem, but with gtkhtml. Seems to be caused be a missing BuildRequires: gail-devel..but I don't know which package should be responsible for this BuildRequires..

I have a package (openvrml) that's failing to build on F-9: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1254875&name=build.log The build log indicates that the pkg-config check for libgnomeui is failing. In configure.ac, that check looks like: PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GNOMEUI], [libgnomeui-2.0 libgnome-2.0 >= 2.14], , [have_gnomeui=no]) The specfile does have: BuildRequires: libgnomeui-devel >= 2.14 This is succeeding for F-10 and devel; and it *used* to work for F-9. Why would it be failing now?

Wrong, that will lead to overlinking which is exactly what the Requires.private original behaviour tend to avoid.

The  problem is that the current Requires.private behaviour is conter intuitive and the best solution would be to move some of the Requires.private to their Libs.private : equivalent as a workaround.

So glunarclock's configure needs to add an explicit libgnomeui dependency to its GNOME_APPLETS_CFLAGS. That is hardly pkg-configs fault...

Now also F-9 pkgconfig tries to check "Requires.private" for "pkg-config --exists". F-9 libgnomecanvas-2.0.pc has "gail" in Requires.private, while root.log says "gail-devel" is not included (note: with old pkgconfig "BR: gail-devel" was not needed) See: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1255010
