  It shouldn't have to require the -devel version ...
It seems that /usr/lib/libxml2.so is owned by libxml2-devel
and similary /usr/lib/libxslt.so is owned by libxslt-devel .
I don't know how "normal" it is, my spec files have always been
that way and that's the first time it raises an issue.

I don't see why libxslt would give troubles and not libxml2 there
is a lack of symetry I can't understand.

I also don't see why dia binary references libsxslt.so instead of 
libxslt.so.1 , this assumes that potentially incompatible future
releases of libxslt would break the binary. That's not good.
