Summary: the kernel-*.rpms do not depend on perl-Bootloader
Product: openSUSE 10.2
Version: Beta 1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: Major
Priority: P5 - None
Component: Basesystem
AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: olh@xxxxxxxxxx
QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx


Unfortunately, all kernel-*.spec files have a Requires: perl-Bootloader. This
causes alot of unrelated packages to rebuild.

But the way I read %post and %postun, the executables provided by
perl-Bootloader are not called unconditionally.

Thats why I'm under the impression that the Requires: perl-Bootloader have to
disappear from the kernel-*.spec files.
There is a slim chance that a fresh installation or an upgrade will not work
correctly. Who will install perl-Bootloader if its not pulled in via
dependencies?
