Re: Need help with dependencies for the RPM of squid.

Hi Eliezer,
   the dependencies look legitimate to me.
The only way I can see to reduce them is to split the package in two,
squid and squid-helpers. This could help remove perl-*, shadow-utils
and possibly krb5* from the dependencies of the main squid package.
