Hi, I just stumbled over an issue while I was trying to strip down an installation. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=351779 is about mc which consists of the main package mc and the language package mc-lang. mc-lang is created using the macro %lang_package as suggested in http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Packaging (The same is true for most (or all?) other packages which have a -lang subpackage.) But the issue I found is that mc.spec defines Requires: %{name}-lang = %{version} So that leaves two basic questions for me: What is the purpose of a sub-package if it is always hard required by the main package? And what I understood is the recommended (or even mandatory?) way to handle language package dependencies the one described here: http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Management/Dependencies/Language If that's correct I think that the %lang_package macro is useless since it doesn't define a locale provides. So what's the policy (or recommendation) actually?
