ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
Package perl-devel needs perl(ExtUtils::Embed), this is not
available.
Complete!
I assume that perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker provides
perl(ExtUtils::Embed) but doesn't declare it.
But how come the build system doesn't catch it? Is this a
perl only problem? Or is rpm_check_debug doing something
beyond what the build system can do?
