Description of problem: If I want to use MimeDefang with Fedora Core 2 or 3/Devel, I've got to use perl MIME::tools in an actual version (5.413), which requires perl MIME::Base64 >= 3.03, but perl-5.8.5-9 only delivers the old 3.01. A third-party package (using the perl site directory) solves the problems until the perl-core package is updated, then the perl core package tries to obsolete the newer MIME::Base64 and updating of perl-core fails. I worked out two solutions which would be both okay for me and none of them should really hurt Red Hat ;-) a) Change the "Obsoletes: perl-MIME-Base64" to "Obsoletes: perl-MIME-Base64" or: b) Upgrade the MIME::Base64 the perl core package to >= 3.03, for this I'll attach a patch. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.8.5-9 Actual results: This problem is only indirect a Red Hat related problem, but it would be fine, if this problem could be solved by Red Hat, that no nasty workarounds are necessary by third-party people. Expected results: a) or b), but I would prefer b) because a newer MIME::Base64 will come some time, I guess.

Ping?
Perl 5.8.6 contains MIME::Base64 = 3.05, so I'll close this bug, because perl-5.8.6-2 is in Rawhide.
