  Title: Do not make lang packages mandatory
   
  openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation
  Priority
      Requester: Desirable
-     Projectmanager: Important
   
  Requested by: Vincent Untz (vuntz)
   
Description:
  Right now, packages which have a split lang package have "Requires: %
  {name]-lang".
  I think that in most cases, this requires is wrong and it should really
  be a Recommends.
  FWIW, one thing that is blocking to implement this for GNOME is that
  the english help files automatically end up in the lang package, while
  they shouldn't: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449847

  The -lang and bundle packages contain also en/C data files and/or
  manuals. Or you sure that every application checks correctly for their
  absence?

  Stephan: that's more or less the bug I linked to :-)
  We certainly need to be careful and check for this kind of stuff.

  Coolo, could you comment on this and evaluate it, please?
