Description

This is indirect dependency which is brought here by other packages:
spamassassin -> perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker -> perl-ExtUtils-Install
-> perl-devel
-> gdbm-devel
-> glibc-devel
-> glibc-headers
-> kernel-headers
-> libdb-devel
-> systemtap-sdt-devel
ExtUtils-MakeMaker is used for sa-compile if I am right, but we are not using perl-ExtUtils-Install which is brought here so feel free to report this to ExtUtils-MakeMaker package if you are sure it doesn't need some *-Install module.
BTW, Much more useful would be dependency tree, than your list:

Comment 2 is right, we need perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker for sa-compile (it's brought in as a implicit dependency). Reassigning to it to be sure that its requirement of perl-ExtUtils-Install is correct (but I am afraid it is). So probably we are not able to fix this problem with yum (it doesn't have support for soft dependencies). The dependencies are wrong, but fixing them would not help. perl-ExtUtils-Install should not require perl-devel. That's a bug. On the other hand, perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker should require perl-devel. The reason is that ExtUtils::MakeMaker is used for building Perl modules that can contain a C code that #includes perl header files. Therefore perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker is a developmental package and requires perl-devel. Moreover all RHEL-7 perl source packages are written with the assumption that perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker will drag perl-devel. Removing the dependency would brake them. |
