[Bioperl-l] Circular dependency problems packaging BioPerl as RPM

[Fields, Christopher J]

The Bio::Expression dependencies are unusual, I'll have to look through and find the modules responsible for pulling these in.  When I last ran these no tests failed, so either the dependency is off or no tests have been written for the modules in question.  

We can always release a new CPAN BioPerl-Run to deal with it.
