Here is what i think happened: mkinitrd currently only requires /usr/bin/perl (and perl-Bootloader) which is part of perl-base. but its perl-scripts use use Getopt::Long; use Pod::Usage; which are part of "perl" and not "perl-base". if during installation, mkinitrd happens before perl (because the package manager by coincidence resolved the dependencies that way), the installation of the mkinitrd-RPM fails with the above error message. so an explicit dependency on perl (or the specific perl modules) in the spec might be a good idea to prevent this.
