Bug 1026760

Thanks for the heads-up. Something appears to be wrong with the perl dependency generation in F20.  Building this same package on older releases works as expected and adds the required perl modules to the rpm requires.

This isn't specific to 1.8.4.2, it occurs with 1.8.3.1 in stable as well:

I haven't followed the F20 cycle closely.  Does anyone know if there is some large change to perl that requires changes to all packages that provide or use perl modules?

To get past this error I have manually installed the following two packages: -

  subversion-perl
  perl-Git-SVN

*** Bug 1045696 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I've finally made some time to look into this issue.  I posted to the packaging list for some help, because it appears that a change in the file package is causing this problem.

I was pointed to #1051598 by Jan Kaluža on the devel list¹.  He and Panu (rpm maintainer) have been working on this.
