I am putting together a patch for Encode::Locale. While looking at this I found a list of dependencies for perl-libwww which provides LWP::UserAgent, and only a few of those dependencies are installed on IPFire. It is likely that many are not needed for the use that IPFire makes of perl-libwww but are we just left with waiting to see if things break to figure out that a dependency is now needed for IPFire. I looked in the changes list for perl-libwww and there is no mention of Encode::Locale being needed for LWP::UserAgent.

Here is the list of dependencies and those with an X at the start of the line are not installed on IPFire.

X   Digest::MD5
X   Encode
X   Encode::Locale
X   File::Copy
X   File::Listing
X   File::Temp
X   Getopt::Long
X   HTML::Entities
X   HTML::HeadParser
X   HTTP::Cookies
      HTTP::Date
X   HTTP::Negotiate
X   HTTP::Request
X   HTTP::Request::Common
X   HTTP::Response
X   HTTP::Status
X   IO::Select
X   IO::Socket
X   LWP::MediaTypes
      MIME::Base64
X   Net::FTP
      Net::HTTP
X   Scalar::Util
      Try::Tiny
      URI
      URI::Escape - included in URI
X   WWW::RobotRules

I will just go ahead and only do a patch for Encode::Locale at this point in time.

Regards,

Adolf.
