Bug 202402

fwiw, SA treats sa-update as optional, and therefore its requirements are
optional and not set in the default spec file.  FWIW, the three that sa-update
needs in addition to the normal set are: Archive::Tar, IO::Zlib, and LWP.

There's a ticket, I'd have to search for it, talking about making a separate
package for sa-update, which in that case could have all the requirements built
in.  But we haven't gone that route yet.

Requires: perl(Archive::Tar)

This has been in our FC6 spec for a while now.  I suppose we can push this back
into FC5 if we do a spamassassin-3.1.x update there.

I'm running fc6t3+rawhide and it still fails because of LWP:UserAgent missing:

Well I just installed cpan2rpm to try to build the missing perl modules and it
installed perl-libwww-perl as a requirement. That fixed sa-learn so I guess it's
just a missing Requires. 

The naming of perl module rpms can be a little bit non-intuitive sometimes. I
did an intial yum search LWP and found some perl-LWP-Authen-Wsse and yet the
parent module is named perl-libwww-perl.

The right thing to do in a situation like this is "yum install
'perl(LWP::UserAgent)'".

The package name follows the upstream name (with "perl-" tacked on to the
beginning), which doesn't always make sense.
