This is kind of a mess. Which version of Fedora Core are you currently
using? I'm going to update wxGTK in FC4 once version 2.6.3 comes out, and at
that point, there won't be a wxGTK-common package in Extras either. (Just
wxGTK, wxGTK-gl, and wxGTK-devel.) But also, the audacity package will need
to be updated to 1.30b. (There will be a compat-wxGTK package too which will
proved the old version of the library required by audacity 1.2.x for
transition.)

But further, the package shouldn't really need to explicitly require
wx-anything, should it? It should pick up the library dep automatically.
