sorry, forgot to followup: all of those are -devel subpackages, or should be if they`re not already. The only thing that matters is if its statically linked in any binary that we ship. I have some tools to dig that up, and its surprising how many deep sqlite copies we have (being in one package, not statically linked from the system package). It would be a lot better overall to work on that instead, because it makes maintenance easier, reduces the size of the distribution overall and actually has some benefit for users (aka those that are not developers). currently I don`t have rpmlint integration for the code duplication checker but I guess that would be a very nice feature to have to be able to point out easily which packages are broken.
