Hi I think I've found what is triggering /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req to think a perl(the) module is needed..., and the answer is "use the".
rpm -qp --qf "[%{requirename}\n]" MySQL-client-4.0.13-1mdk.i586.rpm | grep the perl(the) grep "use the" /usr/bin/mysqlaccess use the option --old_server. # When matching, use the first found match. I tried this hack but it didn't work: %global __perl_requires /usr/lib/rpm/perl.req $* | sed -e '/perl(the)/d' It's currently impossible to install mysql on klama because of this... -- Regards // Oden Eriksson, Deserve-IT.com
