Strange package dependency tree

[Suvayu Ali]

Hi,

Can someone explain this to me?

# rpm -q --whatrequires redhat-rpm-config
  fonts-srpm-macros-2.0.3-1.fc32.noarch
  python-srpm-macros-3-58.fc32.noarch
  R-core-4.0.2-1.fc32.x86_64
  python27-2.7.18-2.fc32.x86_64
  go-srpm-macros-3.0.9-1.fc32.noarch
  root-cling-6.22.02-1.fc32.x86_64

How does R-core, python27, and root-cling depend on redhat-rpm-config?
 Is this a packaging bug?

Thanks,

[Qiyu Yan]

R-Core: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/R/blob/master/f/R.spec#_309
python27: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python2.7/blob/master/f/python2.7.spec#_2...
root-cling: I can't see the reason, but it is intentionally:

Thanks for hunting these down.  I really don't see why these would be
needed.  I'll see if I can find out more.

Cheers,
