In the past we've installed some packages, that were removed from
ansible and it would make sense to list them in the blacklist in order
to cleanup existing installations that someone can already have.
The list of the removed packages is:
polkit-devel
glibc-rpcgen on Fedora > 27 (it was glibc-common)
Anyway, this can be a followup patch.
The rpcgen stuff is pretty confusing, even though I'm the one who
made the change :) Anyway, glibc-rpcgen no longer seems to exist in
rawhide, while glibc-common can't be removed because packages depend
on it, so I guess there's no cleaning up required there.
As for polkit-devel, I'm trying to figure out a nice way to add it
to the blacklist... The current naming convention is along the
lines of
foo:
deb: libfoo-dev
rpm: foo-devel
so it doesn't fit neatly in there, because we want to blacklist
polkit-devel but still install polkit itself. Maybe we could have
blacklist-polkit:
rpm: polkit-devel
or something similar as a workaround? Does that look reasonable?
Alternatively we can just leave the package installed, of course :)
