Your choices are to grab the relevant They are not only not part of a standard installation, but: o I was not able to find any perl modules in the whole Fedora Core distribution that satisfied these dependencies. o Manually installing Email::Valid and Mail::Sendmail (plus the required prerequisites) from CPAN worked find, but RPM still complains. > packages, do an install with --nodeps (and know that That's what I did. > git-send-email-script will not work), make a subpackage for that script But it will work, as the required Perl modules are installed. My problem is that I cannot satisfy the dependencies in a way which gets visible to RPM. And this is where I feel this is a bug in Fedora Core. But probably I'm just too dumb.
