Rebuilding the RPM from the Spec file with 'AutoReqProv: no' fixes it.

In the meantime, the current package (dated May 2) should be pulled from
the repo - it breaks thing.

thanks for your report, Robin; i've committed the change in SVN, and
it'll be fixed in the next rebuild.  i don't have the necessary access
to pull the package from the repo, though, so in the interim you
should use a yum exclude to work around the issue.

I have made a rebuild which will only be available in 24 hours, but I
looked at the package and I don't like it. Libraries should not go in
/usr/libexec/dropbox and the python eggdrops should not be tagged as
build against python 2.5 on RHEL5.

Did anyone look at the license for redistributing dropbox ?

My main problem with this package was that I didn't actually choose to
install it at all - it got pulled in to a fresh kickstart install
(cobbler, with RPMForge repo enabled) because of all the duplicate
binary libraries that are bundled with it. Basically, those libraries
shouldn't be bundled, they should be added as a dependencies to the RPM
so the official packages are used.

That it is a bad package requires no further explanation :-)
