Created attachment 116757 [details] Ship pdldoc.db, tune build dependencies and file permissions FC2 is maintained by Fedora Legacy, and since this isn't a security issue, I think it's unlikely it'll get fixed there. However, the issue still exists in FC4 and devel, fix (plus a couple of unrelated small ones) against the devel specfile attached.

Still happens with package "perl-PDL-2.4.1-11" on FC4. Changing version from "fc1" to "fc4".

Someone who knows something about PDL should comment on that. The patched package builds and tests run successfully on FC4 i386. I don't see how this patch would affect any tests.
perl-PDL-2.4.2-2.fc4 now submitted to FC-4/Updates, which should resolve this problem.
From User-Agent: XML-RPC perl-PDL-2.4.2-2.fc4 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
