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).
