Description Ralf Corsepius 2008-11-26 10:04:55 UTC
Description of problem:

The samba package pulls in several bogus dependencies on perl modules:

# rpm -q --requires samba | grep perl
/usr/bin/perl  
perl(Carp)  
perl(Convert::ASN1)  
perl(Getopt::Long)  
perl(Getopt::Std)  
perl(IO::Socket)  
perl(POSIX)  
perl(Time::Local)  
perl(strict)

AFAIS, none of the samba binaries actually requires anything in perl.

Most likely, these deps originate from rpm bogusly adding deps on perl scripts being shipped below /usr/share/doc/samba-*.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba-3.2.4-0.22.fc10.x86_64


Actual results:
Plenty of bogus package deps, adding dependency bloat.

Expected results:
No bogus deps.

Additional info:
Unless rpm can be fixed, you probably need to filter these deps from inside of your rpm.spec.

samba-3.2.8-0.26.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
