I've updated Mail-Mime to read: BuildRequires: php-pear >= 1:1.4.9-1.2 Requires: php-pear(PEAR) >= 1.6.0 Since you are correct that I technically only need 1.6 at run time, not build time. BUT now that I stare at that for a moment.... is Requires enough, or should it actually be Requires(post) since this version of Mail_Mime needs to use pear 1.6 at rpm install time and not just run time? Is that already implied through my Requires(post): %{__pear}, or does that still ignore corner cases like updating from f[0-7]->f8? If you try to install Mail_Mime 1.5.x on f7 you get "pear/Mail_Mime requires PEAR Installer (version >= 1.6.0), installed version is 1.5.0" Thoughts? Any other pear packagers crossed this bridge already in rawhide?
