Description of problem: __find_requires within ntp.spec is IMHO absolutely unnecessary. The package provides /usr/sbin/ntp-wait which requires /usr/bin/perl so why the hell do you strip these requirements? This looks very odd to me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ntp-4.2.4p2-5 Actual results: Unnecessary __find_requires Expected results: No __find_requires any longer
Looks like a fix for bug #111227. Ok, it will be dropped in the next release. ntptrace has been also rewritten, so we have now two utilities in the package that require perl.
It isn't a fix to bug #111227. That guy expects what IMHO current behaviour is, but from the packaging aspect his wish is wrong. But thanks for dropping it.
Fixed in ntp-4.2.4p2-6.fc8.
