Yes, I need to add the lha package.

And we definitely need to run a program on the RPMforge repositories to 
check the internal consistency. There are the usual suspects (perl 
dependencies not yet packaged and nodist packages that depend on something 
not available). But there are obvious oversights that we could prevent 
instead of having to rely on user feedback.

If anyone wants to look at that and maybe do a weekly report of missing 
dependencies ? (This is one of those tasks that eventually may end you up 
in the future devteam ! ;-))

Kind regards,
