https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1129443 Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |ASSIGNED --- Comment #2 from Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I'm sorry the dependencies defined by upstream code pollute your system but that's how it is. As Ralf pointed out correctly the issue is that perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker gets installed into your system. perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker is a development tool, hence it pulls in perl-devel, yet it's a Perl core module which many other packages use because it provides nifty functions. If we cut the dependency between perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker and perl-devel, users would lose capability to build XS Perl modules which is one common drawback presenting in other distributions and one people, usually web application deployers, often complain. Therefore the best solution is to split perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker to separate the nifty functions, however it requires upstream blessing and that's a thing I cannot see bright. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
