[fedora-java] osgi system bundle

[Andy Grimm]

I would, but such a line does not exist.  The only Require-Bundle line
has org.apache.xerces

Further, I am assuming that the script driving these deps is
/usr/lib/rpm/osgideps.pl , and I get this:

$ echo /usr/share/java/xalan-j2.jar | /usr/lib/rpm/osgideps.pl --requires
osgi(org.apache.xerces)

so I don't really understand where the system.bundle requirement is coming from.
