So how do you override bogus auto-generated dependencies? For perl modules, it is not practical to have to patch out bits of code that won't be called on a particular platform just to avoid invalid dependencies. I suggested a "NoRequires:" for RPM a while back but got shot down. AFAIK the only way to do it today is to use the above %define and filter things out. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
