+* Wed Sep 06 2017 Matthew Miller <mattdm@fedoraproject.org> - 1.8.20p2-4
+- replace file-based requirements with package-level ones:
+- /etc/pam.d/system-auth to 'pam'
+- /bin/chmod to 'coreutils' (bug #1488934)
+- /usr/bin/vi to vim-minimal
+- ... and make vim-minimal "recommends" instead of "requires", because
+  other editors can be configured.
