So what is up with the "Requires.private" entries in various pkgconfig .pc files ? Most mock fc5 builds are currently failing because of a missing dependency between libX11-devel and libxau-devel. Culprit seems to be :
bash-3.00# grep -i requires /usr/lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc Requires: xproto kbproto inputproto Requires.private: xau xdmcp
If A Requires.private: B, that means libA links to libB, but apps/libs that link to libA does not have to link to libB (when linking dynamically on platforms that support library dependencies, like Linux).
It should not affect -devel packages.
