The patch in attach (has to be applied to /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req and
/usr/lib/rpm/perl.prov) ignores any files with a path containing
/usr/share/doc/. It seems to work ok on perl-MP3-Tag. I've no idea if
something like this will get accepted in the rpm projects but i'll
submit it anyway.
Dag: what do you think of applying this on the buildsystems so the
rpmforge perl rpms don't have this kind of problems anymore?
kind regards,
Dries
