It's then the "perl(Email::Valid)" and "perl(Mail::Sendmail)"  depen-

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

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.

No, it's just lack of good support.  Try rpm.pbone.net, they are there.
