Description Richard W.M. Jones 2015-02-19 08:32:30 UTC 
Description of problem:

libguestfs-tools-c isn't supposed to depend on heavyweight
interpreters like Perl.

Unfortunately it does at the moment.  The main reason for this
appears to be 'icoutils'.

See also bug 761565, bug 1071675.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libguestfs 1.29.26

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install libguestfs-tools-c

Actual results:

Note that Perl is pulled in, in particular 'perl-Business-ISBN'
(a dependency of perl-URI).
Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-03-02 13:19:41 UTC 
It turns out to be necessary to adjust both hivex and libguestfs.

The hivex change is to move hivexregedit into the perl-hivex
subpackage:

The libguestfs change is fairly complex:
