This is the issue I have been talking about all along. Xastir complains
about not having a certain function. How is a guy suppose to know
where -lbz2 is part of which package?

This is why a decoder list is needed.
A typical list might be:

Libs/Headers  Xastir needs:

Function     usually comes in:

XYZ           ABC (SuSE), DEF (RH9) , EFG (mandrake)
123           packagename etc, etc etc

When guys find that a different name package
has XYZ or 123 in it, they can mention it , and it
can be added to the list.


At least we'd have a fighting chance to find these things.
