counts as a success, which would be even more signficant if accompanied
by some data to substantiate claims. I even made a deliberate mistake
in using "rpm -qR" which Nicholas Miell pointed out should have been
"--whatrequires" instead. I believe that the output (which indicates
uses by rpm and rpm-python), and Ulrich Drepper's remarks about Red Hat
legal department and copyrights, reveal significant new information
to the Fedora community about the reasons why elfutils is the way it is.
Elfutils is effectively part of RPM. Elfutils is a part of the Red Hat
"crown jewels," which confers special status on elfutils.
I don't know what drugs you're on, but please stop dragging me into your
paranoid delusions.
