Not only because it obviously doesn't work, but also because x2gomatebindings ships a *library* which links to GTK2. Even if the or-dependency would have worked, gtk3 as the only installed package would have left x2gomatebindings (theoretically) in a broken state. Luckily, though, RPM automatically adds dependencies on other packages* for libraries, by examining what libraries are being linked after destrooting. Thus, gtk2 will always be pulled in automatically**. The Requires: statement was semantically thus redundant in the best case and incorrect/causing breakage in the worst case. Mihai *) this mechanism will not catch libraries loaded at run time via dlopen() for instance. This is mostly used for modules. One example of software making heavy usage of that is wine. **) I'm making a mental note here to revisit this issue. While run time dependencies are automatically added *for libraries*, BuildRequires still need to be set correctly or building the package will fail.
