Actually this may be more of a problem with Fedora Core / RedHat dependency generation and checking.

As far as the RPM *build* is concerned this looks pretty harmless to me:

	BuildRequires:  zlib-devel, openssl-devel, curl-devel  %{!?_without_docs:, xmlto, asciidoc > 6.0.3}
	...
	Prereq:         sh-utils, diffutils, rsync, rcs, mktemp >= 1.5

But the RPM itself seems to contain additional information about required packages:

	# rpm -q --requires -p /usr/local/RPMS/i386/git-core-0.99.3-1.i386.rpm
	/bin/sh  
	/usr/bin/env  
	/usr/bin/perl  
	diffutils  
	libc.so.6  
	libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)  
	libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)  
	libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)  
	libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.3)  
	libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)  
	libcrypto.so.4  
	libcurl.so.2  
	libssl.so.4  
	libz.so.1  
	mktemp >= 1.5
	perl(Data::Dumper)  
	perl(Email::Valid)  
	perl(File::Basename)  
	perl(File::Path)  
	perl(File::Spec)  
	perl(File::Temp)  
	perl(Getopt::Long)  
	perl(Getopt::Std)  
	perl(IO::Pipe)  
	perl(IO::Socket)  
	perl(Mail::Sendmail)  
	perl(POSIX)  
	perl(Term::ReadLine)  
	perl(Time::Local)  
	perl(strict)  
	perl(warnings)  
	rcs  
	rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
	rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
	rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1
	rsync  
	sh-utils

It's then the "perl(Email::Valid)" and "perl(Mail::Sendmail)" depen- dencies which cause problems. I installed all perl packages and modules I was able to find in the standard FC places, but this did not solve the problem. Maybe this is actually a bug in Fedora Core ?

Best regards,
