What's the deal with all of the new dependencies for xulrunner-devel in the last update? I'm updating my servers and the update for
Dunno, but: # yum install xulrunner-devel ...

Maybe you were not up to date on many packages?
Maybe you already had the dependencies installed for something else. What I'm seeing is that I already had an older version of xulrunner-devel installed without all of the dependencies and then when I do an update to the newer version, I get an extra 43 dependencies.
Since I don't need it (AFAIK), I just removed the package and that solved (or at least worked around) the problem. But it still doesn't make sense. A new version of a package sometimes has a few new dependencies, but 43 is a bit much.
