Argh..I should have checked that one :) .
Actually it's openssl-devel depends on krb5-devel which depends
on
e2fsprogs-devel.
So, why does krb5-devel depend on e2fsprogs-devel? Looking at krb5's
changelog,
rpm -q --changelog krb5
I see the entry:
* Wed Jun 18 2003 Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin(a)redhat.com> 1.3-0.beta.4
- test update to 1.3 beta 4
- ditch statglue build option
- krb5-devel requires e2fsprogs-devel, which now provides libss and
libcom_err
Ah...so now my question is, "should the libss and libcom_err headers (and/or
others) be moved into a separate package from e2fsprogs-devel?"
