We have BuildRequires: gcc-c++

in R-base.spec.

That means gcc-c++ will be installed when *building* R-base. It says nothing about the dependencies of the packages it produces.

Some traces:

For example AlgDesign fails, that has Requires: R-base and BuildRequires: R-base-devel.

R-base-devel requires R-core-devel

R-core-devel requires R-base. I would expect gcc-g++ coming onto the field there?

No, unless R-base *requires* gcc-c++.

BuildRequires is about build-time dependencies. Requires is about install-time dependencies. Build-time dependencies are not transitive.

Ok, that is like I did it from the beginning of times, erhh OBS, until at some time in the long forgotten past I obviously misunderstood a hint regarding some *Requires. Well. Thx for clarification. Will have to add a few Requires. It remains the question: Why did the build results change *now*? May be not so important, will have to find the proper place to add gcc-g++ anyway. Detlef
