Fedora DMD package

2014-06-06 Thread Russel Winder via Digitalmars-d 
Is there a good reason why the dmd Fedora 20 package pulls in the
following as dependencies:

 cyrus-sasl-libi686  2.1.26-14.fc20fedora
152 k
 glibc-devel   i686  2.18-12.fc20  updates
1.0 M
 libcurl   i686  7.32.0-10.fc20updates
225 k
 libidni686  1.28-2.fc20   fedora
209 k
 libssh2   i686  1.4.3-9.fc20  updates
133 k
 nspr  i686  4.10.5-1.fc20 updates
124 k
 nss   i686  3.16.1-1.fc20 updates
878 k
 nss-softokn   i686  3.16.1-1.fc20 updates
311 k
 nss-util  i686  3.16.1-1.fc20 updates
68 k
 openldap  i686  2.4.39-2.fc20 updates
335 k

OK, I can perhaps see why glibc-devel, but the rest? And why i686
packages on an x86_64 machine?

Thanks.

curl is dependency of std.net.curl, some of other dependencies 
may have been pulled by it indirectly.

I know that libcurl is needed. Perhaps the others are pulled in by libcurl.

glibc-devel.i686 is needed by DMD to successfully build 32bit executables.
The rest is probably there because someone made a mistake. libcurl should be 
the only other dependency there, I think.
