I was displeased to discover just now that in a standard RPM build of PG 8.3, psql and the other basic client programs pull in libxml2 and libxslt; this creates a package dependency that should not be there by any stretch of the imagination.
When we noticed this recently, my digging suggested you'll be hard pressed to have a RedHat system now without those two installed. The libxslt RPM provides necessary components for KDE, GNOME, and Sun's Java RPM. libxml2 is far more intertwined even than that. These dependencies are unpleasant technically, but I don't think the introduce any real functional creep. It would be difficult to even strip a system down to the point where these packages weren't available.
