Yegor, can you respin your patch then with Config.in.legacy handling? It would have been good to hear from Clayton to know why he added this package in May 2015. I think it might have been at some point a dependency of some SELinux stuff, but even the pending SELinux patches don't make any reference to it. The only reference I could find was in the changelog of one of the patches, which says: """ - Remove dependancy on host-python-pyxml (Ryan B.) """ But the current python-pyxml package only implements the target variant. So, /me confused.
