are the dependency issues solved in this pr?

I fixed a missing build dep and fixed Oniguruma stuff via the build flags, were there other dependency concerns I should work on?

if dnf doesn't complain about conflicts when installing this package then you're good

Well, when I try to install them locally there's no obvious conflicts, I can try in a VM if needed? (I don't use uutils myself so I can't fully install locally.)

[ShinyGil]

Tested main and subpackage installs on a VM, no dependency issues I could replicate.

The replace packages don't have dependency issues but they don't...work, they just conflict with the packages they try to replace. Since those are entirely the reason we kept this package, should we drop it...?

[ShinyGil]

As the replace packages are broken (the reason this package was moved to Extras instead of dropped) and would potentially overwrite coreutils to fix, patches for Fedora being difficult to port in some cases, build issues (technically solved, but I could not get the package to build with Cargo which is the recommended build method, however upstream Fedora has it building with Cargo), I think dropping this package might be best at this point. This is a serious system component and parts of it being broken (even if just custom subpackages) or requiring hacky things to build worries me.

As the replace packages are broken

are the existing -replace packages also broken? and does the existing uutils-coreutils package in terra work?

The package itself might work, I am not sure because I don't know how to test uutils enough, but yeah replace packages we kept it for do not. They just conflict with what they try to replace.

The packages should work as they're built the same. The only issue is that it conflicts with GNU coreutils (obviously)

Fedora's is built with pure Cargo, shouldn't make a huge difference though?

Yes. I meant the -replace packages. They're meant to conflict with coreutils and util-linux, because uutils is meant to do that.
