tor-lsb requires only lsb-core (which has a minimal set of dependencies),
not whole lsb. Due to broken redhat-lsb packaging (there exist bugs
filed aeons ago) lsb-core pulls in all the x11 stuff which is required by
the complete lsb spec.

fwiw; when you can not wait for a fixed redhat-lsb package, do

| yum install tor tor-upstart


Upstart does not have a good way yet to disable/enable service so you
have to edit /etc/init/tor.conf resp. /etc/event.d/tor manually.

True:

repoquery -q --whatprovides lsb-core-noarch

All the initscripts have huge and broken dependency chains.
E.g. assuming I would use the vanilla fedora 'initscripts' package, then
tor would still require[1] syslog, cpio, e2fsprogs, ethtool, mount, ...
although it does not log anything, does not extract/pack anything, does
not format a filesystem, does not configures network interfaces nor
mounts something.

'upstart' is packaged more sanily (atm) so I want to have and provide the
option, to install only the required stuff. This is done by splitting
out the core functionality and the ugly stuff (-lsb/-sysvinit) which is
used by most (but not all) people.

still no good, because tor-upstart requires tor which requires tor-lsb which...

fair enough, I understand the situation more from your posts now.

Over the dead body of the current package maintainer. That's the root of
the problem.

thx for noticing this; this requirement is broken and has been fixed
now. I did not noticed it myself because I use yet another instance of
'init(tor)' on the tor server.
