As far as I can see, the stap should be filtered out because it provided by systemtap package and testsuite explicitly requires systemtap as below. --- %package testsuite Summary: Instrumentation System Testsuite Group: Development/System License: GPLv2+ URL: http://sourceware.org/systemtap/ Requires: systemtap dejagnu --- So, anyway, developers can't install systemtap-testsuite without systemtap.
