Description Michael S. 2010-04-06 23:46:51 UTC 
Description of problem:
Trying to install perl-Crypt-RSA pull texlive, which seems to me quite unecessary for this modules ( and quite big too )

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Crypt-RSA-0:1.99-3.fc13.noarch

It seems the problem come from pari, that requires tetex-xdvi , which comes from perl-Math-Pari, which is required by perl-Crypt-RSA.
Comment 1 Jason Tibbitts 2010-04-07 00:36:53 UTC 
How is this a bug in perl-Crypt-RSA?  Are you suggesting that it should not have a dependency on perl-Math-Pari?

Personally I'm having trouble understanding why the pari package requires tetex-xdvi given that it's only some libraries and documentation, but that would be an issue for a bug filed against pari, not perl-Crypt-RSA.
Comment 2 Paul Howarth 2010-04-07 06:21:58 UTC 
This problem comes from pari's dependency on tetex-xdvi; the maintainer was asked to address this over 5 months ago in Bug #530565 but hasn't responded yet.
