Description Enrico Scholz 2007-03-31 10:53:14 UTC
Description of problem:

Updated dhcp packages ship a '/usr/share/doc/dhcp-3.0.5/contrib' directory which adds bloaty perl dependencies. Since there are doc files only, they should be marked as non-executable.

| $ rpm -q --filerequire dhcp | grep perl
| /usr/share/doc/dhcp-3.0.5/contrib/3.0b1-lease-convert   /usr/bin/perl perl >= 0:5.004 perl(strict) 
| /usr/share/doc/dhcp-3.0.5/contrib/ms2isc/Registry.pm    perl(strict) 

Alternatively, this directory can be removed or moved into an own 'dhcp-bloaty-perl-scripts' subpackage.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dhcp-3.0.5-3.fc6

Comment 1 David Cantrell 2007-04-01 15:57:18 UTC
I took care of Registry.pm requiring the perl-Win32 module, but find-requires
appears to take any file ending with .pm as a Perl file and adds the
perl(strict) requirement.

I completely looked over the 3.0b1-lease-convert script, so I've fixed that.

No Perl requirements now in dhcp-3.0.5-4.fc6.  It'll be in updates-testing for
FC-6.  Post here if it works for you and then I'll move it to final updates.

Thanks for the report.
