            Yes. The list of required packages is built automatically
            by jpackage by
            analyzing dependencies of dynamic libraries of JRE
            bundled with the
            application being packed.
            On different distributes the same package can have
            different names.
            Seems like the package that is named on OpenSuSE as '
            libX11-6' is named
            as 'libX11' on Fedora.


        Not all Requires for OpenSUSE had an equivalent Fedoroa Requires

        Requires for OpenSUSE from jpackage
        Requires: glibc, libX11-6, libXau6, libXext6, libXi6,
        libXrender1, libXtst6, libasound2, libxcb1, libz1

        Requires for Fedora from jpackage:
        Requires: glibc, libX11, libXau, libXext, libXi, libXrender,
        libXtst, libxcb

        The RPM spec for Fedora does not get any Requires with
        libasound and libz.

        Probably this is because these packages are not installed on
        Fedora host where you run jpackage.

    Actually, the "missing" packages from Fedora RPM Spec generated by
    jpackage, the libasound and libz does not exist on Fedora 30.
    Makes me wonder, because the RPM installs fine on Fedora without
    these.

Though there could be a different package that provides these two on Fedora, but then jpackage should have mention that package.

I can't comment on this without seeing jpackage log.
