Is anybody out there using openpkg-tool having trouble getting the
reverse dependencies of a package to automatically rebuild?

For instance, the perl package requires gcc. When I run "openpkg build"
to rebuild gcc, the generated script does not trigger a rebuild of perl.
Since virtually all libraries are statically linked, it seems as though
this would be the expected behavior.

# rpm -q --whatrequires gcc
perl-5.8.0-1.2.0

# openpkg build gcc
/cw/bin/rpm --rebuild \
  ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/current/SRC/gcc-3.3-20030723.src.rpm \
  || exit $?
/cw/bin/rpm --force -Uvh \
  /cw/RPM/PKG/gcc-3.3-20030723.sparc64-solaris2.9-cw.rpm \
  || exit $?
