Aha, I see the problem - the perl-suidperl sub-package has always specified:
'Requires: perl = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}
'
But the perl main package has always specified:
'# By definition of 'do' (see 'man perlfunc') this package provides
all
# versions of perl previous to it.
Provides: perl <= %{epoch}:%{version}
'
So any perl package Provides: all previous versions of perl, so RPM allows
a previous version of perl to be installed when a later perl-suidperl version
is installed.
I guess the perl main package should specify something like:
'Provides: libperl = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}
'
and the perl-setuid sub-package should specify:
'Requires: libperl = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}
'
This fix is now in CVS and will go into the next release.
