I have seen this SR somewhere before ;-)

Thanks for the heads-up and correct analysis.

If you carefully check the SR link, you can see, we try hard to escape from 
dependency hell already, but..

the line:
%global __requires_exclude ^libcef\\.so$
seems to not properly exclude the damn libcef.so thingy. 

Hopefully my latest submission fits the bill now, and I can proceed with
figuring out, what fails the builds of OBS 29.1.1 on Leaps (in my home)!

Feedback welcome.

Cheers,
Pete
