Primary F20 perl update to 5.18.4 means F20 netinst is now broken

Folks,

It's  great  to  see  the  ppc64  builds  are  back  up - rawhide, and
branches!

I'm  slowly  working  towards  getting  the  ppc64  install components
updated to work with Mac G5s.   Lots to learn!

I  went  to  set  up  a new build machine yesterday, and found that an
update  to  Perl 5.18.4 on the primary arch has resulted in new noarch
Perl   packages   being   copied  from  primary  to  ppc64  that  have
dependencies  that  can't be satisfied by the 5.18.2 current build for
ppc64.

I opened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192824
"F20 PPC64 Perl: Now 5.18.2 but primary is now 5.18.4 - updated noarch
package deps prevent network installs".

Because  the  F20 Anaconda keeps insisting on using the updates during
installs  and  the  DVD  install does not (yet) work for Macs, I can't
really work around this until Perl gets built for the new level.

Thanks in advance,
Al
