I originally sent this to an internal list, but then I realized
contribs were probably handled by others.  These need to be fixed.

This is a bug in rpm (rpm-build to be exact). find.requires is the problem, located in /usr/lib/rpm. look at line 165.

When you build you "own" perl based rpm it read the site config version as 5.8.00 but then writes the requires as 5.800 which breaks perl builds...

Pain in the ass I've been dealing with for my perl modules I build at JPL.
