speaking of fixed.....

Looks like grab-devel fixed the problem with colons in the dependancy
strings.  I got another dep error, but i think my provides databases got
corrupted.

-Choose number(s): ('?' for help): 3
-Here is what I will download:
  perl-Digest-HMAC

-You selected 11K of archives
 ->Do you want to continue? [Y/n]: y
-Building local package provides database
-Searching for unresolved dependencies
 checking (100%):
perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-8.noarch.rpm                           
        -perl-Digest-MD5
-The following packages have unresolvable
dependencies:                       
  perl-Digest-HMAC


but rpm -q output suggests that a bogus dep problem
 rpm -q --requires perl-Digest-HMAC 
perl(Digest::SHA1)  
perl(Digest::MD5)  
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1
perl(Digest::HMAC)  
perl(Digest::MD5)  
perl(Digest::SHA1)  
perl(Exporter)  
perl(strict)  
perl(vars)  

looks like colons are working right though....i just think my provides
db was messed up with the devel testing.
