Please wait. ---> Package perl-Kwiki.noarch 0:0.33-1.1.fc3.rf set to be installed --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::ContentObject) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::Plugin) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::Base) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::Config) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::Hub) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon)>= 0.18 for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::CGI) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::Template::TT2) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::Formatter) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::MetadataObject) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::Registry) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::Cookie) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::Installer) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(mixin) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Processing Dependency: perl(Spoon::Template) for package: perl-Kwiki --> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes. --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
