Soft/weak dependencies are allowed, according to FESCo
It doesn't matter much what FESCO says of believes in this case.
ATM, neither is the technical infrastructure is in place (it is evolving)
nor are impact/consequences clear not are the prototypical use-cases of
soft/weak-deps clear.
@Thorsten: I do not think, weak/soft-deps are of use in your case.
Unfortunatley, I do not have solution, either.
What do you mean by the technical infrastructure for it is lacking?
E.g. /usr/bin/rpm still lacks the --what* command-line options
corresponding to soft/weak deps.
This issue was mentioned the rpm maintainer in an FPC meeting (IIRC, 3
weeks ago), when we were discussing soft/weak-deps but nothing seems to
have happened since.
Therefore I just (I could have done so earlier, but have been on
vacation) filed an RFE against rpm:
