What is wrong here ?
That's the default config *requires* iconstasks package ?
As said earlier currently the default config (& not the vanilla one or
netbook) use the iconstasks plasmoid, how are you going to ensure that
this plasmoid is installed when using the default configuration and
then don't have a broken panel for the default mageia panel ? (i'm not
sure ennael will be agree to add yet another package in rpmstrate/bcd
config just for that when it could be done in the spec )
If the problem is that the « default » config package are wrongly
required that's something else and we need to narrow here the wrong
requires.
