DetailsDescription:
The 'iproute2' binaries doesn't need 'perl' package. Additional info: * package version(s): 2.6.39-1 Steps to reproduce: In a terminal, use the next command [root@host ~]# ldd $(pacman -Ql iproute2 | grep 'bin/[a-z]' | cut -d' ' -f2) | grep perl nothing [root@host ~]# file $(pacman -Ql iproute2 | cut -d' ' -f2) | grep perl /usr/share/doc/iproute2/examples/diffserv/afcbq: a /usr/bin/perl script, ASCII text executable /usr/share/doc/iproute2/examples/diffserv/ef-prio: a /usr/bin/perl script, ASCII text executable /usr/share/doc/iproute2/examples/diffserv/efcbq: a /usr/bin/perl script, ASCII text executable [root@host ~]# ls -l /usr/share/doc/iproute2/examples/diffserv/{afcbq,ef-prio,efcbq} -rw-r--r-- 1 root root XXXX Jul 19 00:47 /usr/share/doc/iproute2/examples/diffserv/<file> [root@host ~]# /usr/share/doc/iproute2/examples/diffserv/afcbq //same with 'ef-prio' and 'efcbq' -bash: /usr/share/doc/iproute2/examples/diffserv/afcbq: Permission denied Solutions: Add 'perl' package in optional depends and change the right on the perl's script (add 'x' for execution) Or remove this package because theses scripts are not necessary (script in 'doc/examples' directory and no right for execution) |

Reason for closing: Fixed
Additional comments about closing: iproute2-3.2.0-1
perl dependency dropped as is used only in examples but not in any iproute2 commands

I think perl should be optional dependency, because iproute2 programs do not require it. It's just a few example scripts which are not even likely to run depend on it.

I prefer this choice too.
