Ok, this is my huge mistake. Here is what happened. In FC6, perl was multilib because gaim brought it in during tree builds. Gaim being multilib. Recently, gaim went away and pidgin showed up in Extras. All of a sudden, nothing brought in perl to be multilib. I mistakenly assumed that perl had never been multilib and things were just noticing. We had big discussions around perl/gaim and multilib around FC6 release time and I forgot the outcome, and I simply was an idiot and didn't look at the FC6 tree, which clearly shows perl was multilib. To resolve this, I have added perl to a "whitelist" to force it to be multilib again, since pidgin isn't in core to pull it in. This will resolve all these broken deps for Fedora 7, without making further drastic changes to the perl package. Perl should once again be multilib with tonight's rawhide. This problem wouldn't have come up had we already been merged, since pidgin would be available during the compose, depsolved, and brought in the perl multilib. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
