spec patch
arch-specific perl-* packages often have library provides picked up and exposed
vi rpm's autoprov system, where it shouldn't; that is, these provides are
useless, not in the system lib path, and will never be used for proper perl
dependency resolution. e.g. perl-YAML-Syck.i386 provides Syck.so(), mod_perl
provides a slew of them, etc.
These macros will allow us to sensibly filter useless provides out:
http://fedorapeople.org/~cweyl/macros.perl
The core perl package should deliver /etc/rpm/macros.perl, as above, and employ
them to clean up its errant provides. I've attached a patch that does that, as
well as the additional %SOURCEs needed; a scratch build of the modifications
has been run.
