Suggested improved Summary: HTML formatter modules for Perl 
 
 
IMO perl-Font-AFM should be Required, not only BuildRequired. 
HTML::FormatPS doesn't work without it, see setfont() there; that's not an 
optional dependency but a hard error if the needed Font::Metrics::$something 
module cannot be found.  And the code to do that is obviously so funky that 
rpm cannot detect the dependency. 
 
In my local package, I used "Requires: perl-Font-AFM" instead of "Requires: 
perl(Font::AFM)" and ditto for BuildRequires.  That's because Font::AFM is 
never actually used except for the version check in Makefile.PL.  The actually 
needed modules are Font::Metrics::*.  This is just a note, not a blocker, you 
decide what to do with it. 
 
But the suggestion to pull perl-Font-AFM in one way or another when this 
package is installed still holds.
