Bingo. My build system uses a bootstrap technique. This is the only way to find
and fix specfile bugs or implied dependencies. For example, I added udev
yesterday and within 2 minutes found flex, bison, and glib2-devel missing from
the buildrequires.

Python is bad, but I have it fixed with a variable that swings X in or out. pam
doesn't have X dependencies, though. Amazingly, glibc does. Somebody added a
memory profile utility that generates graphs. That immediately swung in X and
created circular dependencies.
