+The following packages require perl-RPM4:
+
+(1) iurt
+(2) perl-MDV-Repsys
+(3) perl-Youri-Package-RPM-Builder
+(4) perl-Youri-Package-RPM-Updater

+notes:
+- (5) doesn't use proposes both Youri::Package::URPM and
+Youri::Package::RPM4, and doesn't force usage of any.
+- (6) is a fork of perl-Youri-Package, which uses Youri::Package::URPM
+(and so perl-RPM4 is unused)
+

+packages above.
