The only trouble I see with this is currently Cygwin OpenSSL has Perl
dependency.
That's likely a bug.
The openssl package comes with two perl scripts. The dependency
gets added automatically.
That's a reoccurring issue with dependency walker. Perhaps, we need a way to
tell it to not include specific packages as a dependency, if we know it would
be a mistake to do so? Rather than manually fix it again, and again, and...
Those dependencies are correct; perl scripts require perl to run, and if
you pretend to ignore the dependency, then we end up with complaints
that the scripts won't run. *That* would be a mistake.
These Perl scripts are nonessential for OpenSSL functionality, and not
required to be used, unless you have very specific needs.
Fair enough. In that case, the correct solution is to create a separate
openssl-perl package with those (like Fedora does), and leave those
outside of Base.
