They solve all the ones that the packager finds ( are missing )
when he/she/it compiles from source and builds the rpm

BUT

If you have "it" installed already because you went for
        workstation
or some such when you first installed
then you won't have it as a "dependency" because
that just means packages differing from base
( i.e. every rpm doesn't list every single other rpm it needs )


Redhat have now produced a mix of "base" configurations,
the smallest of which as far as I can see gives you a non
fuctioning installation which won't install any other
packages so you can't fix it either.

They have also split X up into smaller packages which are
installed by default.

BUT

Things have moved on since nomachine forked X11
so the legacy stuff is installed but is not depended
upon any more.

i.e. if you can miss installing older things now
without hitting a dependency


This means that to produce an accurate list of
dependencies for every version of fedora/RHEL
the NX library rpm  packager has to

        strace nxagent

1/ find out everything it needs in its various configurations
2/ find out which new split-off rpms they're all in
3/ add them all as as dependencies.

Some hope getting that all correct.

Better to just add them all I suppose
