Hello!

On Tumbleweed and openSUSE Leap, xrdb package pulls cpp as its requirement? It seems to be a hardcoded requirement in the spec-file https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/xrdb/xrdb.spec Can anyone tell me the reason for this requirement?

From the xrdb man page: "The file specified by filename (or the contents from standard input if - or no filename is given) is optionally passed through the C preprocessor" Regards Martin
