--- Comment #1 from Dan Scott <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
In anticipation of a comment regarding the arch specificity of the package and
rpmlint's report that it found no binary, perl-MARC-Charset creates a GDBM_File
binary object that is not portable. It stores this object in the same Perl
directory as the MARC/Charset/Table.pm module.

In an effort to prevent two arch-specific packages from being installed on the
same system and thereby clobbering one another, I've introduced a symbolic link
that points at libdir from MARC/Charset/Table. My intention is that this should
introduce a conflict should someone attempt to install two versions of the same
arch-specific package. (Debian appears to take the same approach, for whatever
that's worth).

I checked on #fedora-devel and there didn't seem to be horrified reactions, and
they also suggested that rpmlint's warning about no-binary could be ignored as
it doesn't understand gdbm, but this is my first time dealing with an oddity
like this. If there's a better recommended practice, I'm all ears.
