Description of problem: Package perl-XML-Writer 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-XML-Writer-0.4-12.el5.noarch.rpm How reproducible: Deterministic. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Satellite 5.3.0. 2. Run rpm -q perl-XML-Writer, check that package perl-XML-Writer is installed. 3. Run rpm -e perl-XML-Writer. 4. Run rpm -q perl-XML-Writer again, check that it's now been removed. Actual results: Package perl-XML-Writer 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.
I am not able to find anything on 5.2 Satellite that used this perl module (so far).
Justin, please look and confirm that this can be removed.
[jlsherri@quartet spacewalk]$ git grep "XML::Writer" [jlsherri@quartet spacewalk]$ Nope, not used it doesn't look like.
