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.
