Here I go having another conversation with myself... Hi self, how's it
going? Not too bad. Spot of trouble with an RPM, but can't complain
overall.

It's in cooker, but won't install easily on my server because of a
bazillion Perl dependency issues.

Dunno about not feasible, but not easy. I started whacking at it with
the Mandrake RPM Howto and chose the modify 2.44's spec file path. On
the server, bad things happen because I can't even get sitelib:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jack]$ perl -V:sitelib
Can't locate Config.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

ew... this is the result of too many upgrades, some CPAN installations,
generally some ickiness that can get fixed at some other time. Tonight,
let's try building RPMs on the laptop. Seems much better, we zip along
nicely until:

Finding  Requires: /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires
/home/jack/rpm/tmp/spamassassin-2.55-root i586
Using BuildRoot: /home/jack/rpm/tmp/spamassassin-2.55-root to search
libs
PreReq: rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
Requires: perl-HTML-Parser perl-base >= 2:5.8.0 perl-base

now that's kinda funny looking. So I poked around to figure out how
that's gotten, and this is real funny:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jack]$ rpm -q --requires perl-HTML-Parser
perl  
perl-HTML-Tagset >= 3.03
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
ld-linux.so.2  
libc.so.6  
perl-base >= 2:5.8.0
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)  
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)  

Am I being dense, or is this asking for a perl-base greater than or
equal to version 2:5.8.0? As in the 2: is throwing a monkeywrench into
the works? My perl-base is perl-base-5.8.0-19mdk.
