Description Barry Jackson 2016-02-20 16:53:06 CET 
Description of problem:
As per summary.
rpm-4.13 supports rich dependencies that allow for example, that a Recommend is only recommended if another package is already installed.

This works fine with raw rpm in cauldron, but is ignored by urpmi.

The reason for requesting this feature is that onboard now has a gnome shell extension which pulls in 160 packages when installed in a non-gnome system.

I would like to Recommend it, but doing so would burden KDE users with a great chunk of Gnome.

Recommends:    (%{name}-gnome-shell-extension if gnome-shell)

...would resolve this problem by only recommending the extension when gnome-shell is previously installed.
