Do you mean xml-commons or xml-commons-apis? Anyway, this won't affect 
my answer
much.

This sounds like a bug in the sun-compat package. If Sun claims to provide
xml-commons but doesn't actually do so, then the sun-compat package should do
so  by requiring xml-commons-apis, or if need be, by some sort of hack, like a
file based requires on %{_javadir}/xml-commons-apis.jar. I am not sure if
sun-compat should provide xml-commons or not. In JPackage, this package
contains no jars anyway.

This should fix the problem, if I understand correctly.
