I understand, but in this case my solution reflects the relation between the two packages much better. HTML-Parser does not need HTTP-Headers, it can run without them. But the opposite is not true.

Of course. You need to rebuild the packages to get proper dependencies. Otherwise you just guess. Even it's not always possible to just drop build-requires and keep the run-requires. Otherwise you will end up with built binary package with unsatisfied run-dependencies, so you could not use it while building reverse dependencies. I'm reluctant to follow the easier but error-prone way you selected. I can put your change into perl-HTTP-Message if it makes you happy because it just disables a test, but I don't think it's the best way. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
