On F-13? No, I have yum-3.2.26-4.fc13.noarch. Maybe that's some side effect
of my previous experiments. I'll try package more modules and check it
on clean install. Pod::Simple passed even without 'Obsoletes' so that's probably
not needed at all.

Also I'll try to fix 'noarch' in perl.spec.

Also ;-) If anyone want add/fix something on Drafts below, please do so.
