https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=647783

           Summary: perl-Mail-Box shouldn't force spamassassin to be
                    installed
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: perl-Mail-Box
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

    Classification: Fedora


People who aren't planning on using spamassassin shouldn't be forced to install
it just to be able to use the modules in perl-Mail-Box, most of which are
totally independent of spamassassin.

One fix would be to remove the dependency on Mail::SpamAssassin completely from
the perl-Mail-Box RPM, in which case, people who try to use spamassassin
functionality in perl-Mail-Box will simply get an error because of the missing
module and know they need to install spamassassin.

Another fix would be to split the perl modules in spamassassin into a separate
RPM, e.g., spamassassin-perl, so they can be installed without the rest of
spamassassin.
