package: fai-client
version: 3.1.8
severity: wishlist

Hi,

fai-client depends on libapt-pkg-perl and the only code that uses it is 
install_packages. If used for fai softupdates on a rpm based system, this 
depends is not needed, as yum can be used instead of apt.

Basically, instead of 

 "use AptPkg::Foo";

better use something like:

 eval    "require AptPkg::Foo";
 eval    "import AptPkg::Foo";


(For the depends itself, rpm/alien doesnt look at debian/control, but checks 
the actual depends of the software installed. With "use", it depends on it, 
with "require+import", it doesn't.)


regards,
        Holger
