possibly admitting my ignorance, but why does installing
perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker drag in systemtap-sdt-devel? i see no logical
connection, and i don't even have any systemtap packages installed.
i ask since i'm working with a software package that fails to
configure properly if the header file "sys/sdt.h" is installed on the
development system, but it needs the MakeMaker package, so i'm in a
bit of a dilemma.
Coincidence of events. I hit the same issue yesterday when trying rt-4
on f21 for the first time ;)
When in doubt:
$ echo n | sudo yum install --releasever=21 --installroot=/tmp/empty foo
And then examine the output. In this case, perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker →
perl-ExtUtils-Install → perl-devel → systemtap-sdt-devel. Which appears
to have been so since December 2010:
Yes, it's perl-devel which pulls in systemtap-sdt-devel
But, I think there are a couple of bogus deps on perl-devel in some of
the perl package's sub-packages, which are causing the dependency bloat e.g:
perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder
perl-ExtUtils-Embed
perl-ExtUtils-Install
perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker
perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS
perl-Module-Build
I don't think any of these should R: "perl-devel"
(f21-patch enclosed below).
