Hi folks, the -2.22-0.src.rpm in comment #20 builds on my FC-5 system but 
fails to install.  Here are the commands and the resulting errors:

  yum localinstall bugzilla-2.22-0.noarch.rpm \
    bugzilla-contrib-2.22-0.noarch.rpm bugzilla-doc-2.22-0.noarch.rpm

  Error: Missing Dependency: perl(BugzillaEmail) is needed by 
    package bugzilla-contrib
  Error: Missing Dependency: perl(globals.pl) is needed by package bugzilla
  Error: Missing Dependency: perl(globals.pl) is needed by package 
    bugzilla-contrib

and it happens because the automatic dependency handling within RPM 
finds lines such as:

  require "globals.pl";

One possible way to "fix" this would be to first save a list of all the 
Requires: items, then add

  AutoReqProv: no

to the main package and the -contrib sub-package, and finally add in all 
the Requires: bits manually [being carefull to delete the unwanted bits].
This is not a pretty solution and it will be un-fun to maintain (for 
instance, if upstream ever adds any new requirements).  So, perhaps someone 
else knows of a better way to fix this annoying issue?
