lsb_release: strange dependencies

8 Sep 2001

      Can anybody explain why the lsb_release (lsb-0.4.1-41.i386.rpm) package has 
the following dependencies:
rpm -qp --requires lsb-0.4.1-41.i386.rpm
acct
makedev
python
gettyps
mh

The package provides only:
 rpm -qpl lsb-0.4.1-41.i386.rpm
/etc/lsb-release
/usr/bin/lsb_release  <== shell script
/usr/share/man/man1/lsb_release.1.gz

After the package has been installed it tells that suse-7.2 is adheres the 
LSB version: "n/a".  Should this be 0.9, perhaps 1.0
I though SuSE was one of the best LSB followers, why such a bad(?) job on 
this package??

I installed the 3 files manually and it works like a sharm.....
