+Sorry but I really don't understand what you try to tell.

+What's the link with "assume I'am installing a noarch rpm" and
+"from spec file" ???

+You asked urpmi to install missing BR from the spec, it tries
+to do so, and one of the needed BR is provided by this perl-Forge
+package of yours (so we can't check it) and it must do something
+very weird (maybe silent error in %pre, I really can't tell w/o
+looking at that package).
