From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux) Description of problem: Hello Guys ! ntp requires perl to be installed. This is only a requirement on Red Hat Linux and I am not aware of this requirement on other Linux distributions. Your Red Hat Es 3.0 base is large already, can we get an ntp rpm where the ntp-wait perl script is removed or alternatively rewritten in say bash ? It seems a waste to install Perl and its dependencies, not to mention all the future updates that it can bring with itself. Thank you: Frank Kruchio Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): released version How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -qR ntp 2. 3. Actual Results: Perl is a requirement Expected Results: Perl is not a requirement Additional info: The ES 3.0 base contains is about 257 rpm packages. Do we really need that many ?
