I believe that libtcb dependency in BuildRequires is useless.  Here is why:

1) when the package is built against libtcb, it should contain libtcb-devel in
BuildRequires; linking against libtcb must imply the use of its header files;

2) when the package needs libtcb implicitly (via another packages), libtcb should
be recursively fetched with those packages; there's a packaging bug in those
packages otherwise;

I would say even more: there should not be any particular lib%name dependency in
BuildRequires, on condition that lib%name-devel package exists in the repo.  This
way we can enforce so-called full linking, which is a GoodThing(tm).

Actually libtcb is already there, I'm sorry.
But I think I touched an important thing which is worthwhile to be discussed one
day. So I pass the "REMIND" resolution.

Даже на 3.0:

$ grep tcb /etc/buildreqs/packages/essential
nss_tcb
$ rpm -qR nss_tcb | grep tcb                
libtcb = 0.9.8.9-alt1
libtcb.so.0  

FIXED?
