Because of this dependency line
This issue is back again, now with
bash
_update-info-dir
texinfo

This is a side effect of the fact that I switched to cygport for
packaging when I took over as texinfo maintainer. cygport (correctly)
detected perl as a dependency because texinfo provides perl scripts. In
fact, the most important program in texinfo is /usr/bin/makeinfo, which
is a symlink to a perl script.
I'll wait for guidance from above before doing anything about this.
Fedora splits out texinfo into 3 packages:
1) texinfo: makeinfo, texi2any, pod2texi, /usr/share/texinfo,
/usr/share/info/texinfo*
2) info: info, infokey, install-info, /usr/share/info/info*
3) texinfo-tex: texindex, texi2dvi, texi2pdf, pdftexi2dvi,
/usr/share/texmf*/tex/texinfo
In this setup, only 'info' would be required by _update-info-dir and should not
have any Perl dependencies. texinfo would be in 'Devel' and would have Perl
dependencies, while texinfo-tex would also have texlive dependencies.
Sounds good to me. I'll repackage within a few days. Thanks.
