No, you probably missed the earlier thread on this. It's not a bug, those are real dependencies which rpm automagically discovers (along with things like shared library dependencies). The issue is the git-send-email-script uses Mail/Sendmail.pm and Email/Valid.pm which aren't part of standard install. Your choices are to grab the relevant packages, do an install with --nodeps (and know that git-send-email-script will not work), make a subpackage for that script so it can have its own dependencies, or move that script to elsewhere so it's not scanned for depenedency info.

thanks, -chris
