As you like, though it seems like using a sledgehammer to crack a
walnut.
Posts in this list are not going to be read by all the maintainers
however. Very few are even subscribed to this list in the first place.
And thanks for the shortcut. Do you have a similar one for a
packaging
problem?
A dependency problem is just a bug and that can be filed in bugzilla.
For example,
http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/coreutils
Replace coreutils with the name of the package (note that it should be
the source rpm name). You can find that using rpm -qi <packagename>.
Alternatively, look for the update at
http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates and add a comment there. You
would note that someone has already done that for this problem at
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F11/FEDORA-2009-10088?_csrf_token...
