Please see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432176 If we filter that out, several tools break. sorry I didn't look in old bugs until now, thanks Fedora 19 has the following: amavisd-new noarch 2.8.0-8.fc19 updates altermime x86_64 0.3.10-8.fc19 fedora freeze x86_64 2.5.0-15.fc19 fedora lrzip x86_64 0.614-3.fc19 fedora nomarch x86_64 1.4-10.fc19 fedora perl-ExtUtils-Install noarch 1.58-266.fc19 updates perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker noarch 6.64-3.fc19 updates perl-ExtUtils-Manifest noarch 1.63-1.fc19 updates perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS noarch 1:3.16-266.fc19 updates perl-devel x86_64 4:5.16.3-266.fc19 updates portreserve x86_64 0.0.5-7.fc19 fedora procmail x86_64 3.22-32.fc19 fedora spamassassin x86_64 3.3.2-15.fc19 fedora systemtap-sdt-devel x86_64 2.4-1.fc19 updates so I was happy having perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker & related packages in F19 but in F20 because of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905482 I have glibc-devel, glibc-headers and the others rpms added so I tried to not install the new dependencies introduced by the fix of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905482 because MY usecase (others hundreds or thousands of users have their own usecases) is a personal (email/file server|computer) without rpm devel packages now reading https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432176 I gather which sa-compile requires re2c, but that isn't installed running yum install amavisd-new and the manpage from sa-update mentions requiring too the C compiler used to build Perl XS modules so seems in MY usecase sa-compile was broken since the F19 or earlier or I hasn't used sa-compile. also by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432176 I understand the reasons to not splitting or remove the dependency, thanks for telling me about it IF in the future you the packagers review the decision of split spamassasin can consider also splitting only the libs used by amavisd-new in their own rpm package? no procmail, no daemons. thanks We could revisit the split, sure. I'd like to hear from my co-maintainers on the idea. I agree that many people just want to use spamassassin with their MUA, so they don't want a lot of deps pulled in. Not sure how feasable it is to split things however. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
