Description Tomas Lestach 2009-03-26 10:34:19 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #492121 +++

Description of problem:

Package perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour is not Required by anything on Satellite 5.3.0, we might want to not ship it.

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

Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090323.0 on i386
perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour-1.4-11.el5.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:

Deterministic.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Satellite 5.3.0.
2. Run rpm -q perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour, check that package perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour is installed.
3. Run rpm -e perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour.
4. Run rpm -q perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour again, check that it's now been removed.
  
Actual results:

Package perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour is installed but it is not required by anything in the Satellite, so it can safely be removed.

Expected results:

Either the package should be Required by some other package, or it should not be on the compose.

Additional info:

On Satellite 5.2.0, perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour was needed by perl-Crypt-RSA, but is not required in 5.3.0 any more.

Comment 4 Steve Salevan 2009-04-08 16:26:34 UTC 
# rpm -q perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour
package perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour is not installed

Moving to VERIFIED, tested on 530-re20090403.2.
Comment 5 Brandon Perkins 2009-08-07 20:17:23 UTC 
Release Pending.  Was in 5.2:

[root@test10-64 ~]# rpm -q perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour
perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour-1.4-11.el4

Now its not on 5.3:

[root@test1182 ~]# rpm -q perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour
package perl-Convert-ASCII-Armour is not installed

Checked both EL4 and EL5.
