>From experience.... this "dependency" is often cause when the developer
has this installed on his/her box and never bothers to test the
application anywhere but on their own computer.  I've been seeing more
and more apps of late "dependent" on this lib.... I do a --nodeps
install and they work fine.  It's more of a qa problem than a coding
problem. You'd be amazed how many dependencies are the result of where
apps rpm's are built not because of what they need.
