Joe, Sure the SPEC is broken since the dependency is on a binary file from package coreutils, rather than another RPM. However, you are using a Cadillac OS (Linux) which includes a C-compiler and has as part of its core perl the perl module Digest::MD5. ------------- snip Digest-Perl-MD5 disclaimer ------- DISCLAIMER This is not an interface (like "Digest::MD5") but a Perl implementation of MD5. It is written in perl only and because of this it is slow but it works without C-Code. You should use "Digest::MD5" instead of this module if it is available. This module is only usefull for computers where you cannot install "Digest::MD5" (e.g. lack of a C-Compiler) encrypting only small amounts of data (less than one million bytes). I use it to hash passwords. educational purposes ----------------- end snip ------------- I have good news for you. This is one time where its OK to use CPAN!!
