Description of problem: The Fedora base-runtime includes ppc64-utils because it is apparently needed to boot a ppc64 or ppc64le system to Fedora. (I say apparently, because we are mostly trusting that the Fedora lorax template[1] is correct, which lists it) However, ppc64-utils requires powerpc-utils which includes a dependency on Perl to support /sbin/rtas_dump and /sbin/hvcsadmin. We do not want to pull Perl into the base-runtime (because we would have to maintain it with the base-runtime's lifecycle). It's possible that these utilities are not in fact needed for installation or booting, in which case we'll just drop them from the base-runtime. However, if they are needed (such as during initramfs creation or something), we need to figure out if we can split out those two executables into a subpackage to avoid pulling in Perl. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): powerpc-utils-1.3.3-1.fc26 Additional info: [1] https://github.com/rhinstaller/lorax/blob/master/share/templates.d/99-generic/runtime-install.tmpl
