Right, a silly typo on my part reconstructing things the next day. I already tried to build the src.rpms but ran into more dependency problems. MIME-tools wouldn't do anything without IO-stringy-*src.rpm, which was also supplied with the mailscanner rpm, but that wouldn't compile because the files were already found in my perl installation: RPM build errors: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/IO-stringy/.packlist /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/perllocal.pod Strangely, I got this same error even after renaming the IO-stringy directory and deleting the references from the perllocal.pod file. I gave up at this point, since I'm nervous about screwing around with a perfectly functional perl + many extra modules installation. The problem is, mailscanner has unresolved dependencies for perl rpms even though all of the required perl modules are installed and working on my system. Rpms are easy and convenient, except when they're not. Is there some way to tell mailscanner that it doesn't need to bother looking for perl rpms, or should I just re-install the thing from source? I'd prefer to use rpms if I can, so I was just wondering if anyone has run into this before. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
