Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DKIM fails even if it's documented dependency
Mail::DKIM is installed:

Description: Creation and verification of DKIM mail signatures - Perl library
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) provides a method for validating an identity
that is associated with a message, during the time it is transferred over the
Internet. That identity then can be held accountable for the message.
.
This is a Perl implementation created by Jason Long of Messiah College.
It performs signing as well as signature verification.
Neither spamassassin nor libmail-dkim-perl lists any dependency on
Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum. I noticed this comment in
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DKIM:
# Have to do this so that RPM doesn't find these as required perl modules.
# Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum included here, since Mail::DKIM loads it in some
# situations at runtime and spews messy errors if it's not there.
BEGIN { require Mail::DKIM; require Mail::DKIM::Verifier; require
Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum; }
but I can't find any reference to Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum anywhere in
Mail::DKIM,
so I belive this is a dependency bug in spamassassin. If the comment
were true, this should have been reported as a bug against libmail-dkim-perl
instead of an ugly workaround.
Anyway, the requirement must either be removed from spamassassin or documented
in spamassassin.
