Description

The issue with wrappers like Archive::Extract is that they allows to use pick up from many options what current RPM's dependency mechanism without virtual (=dummy packages) cannot. (Rich dependencies feature is coming but it's will take a lot of time until becoming allowed in Fedora.) I understand that bailing out instead of getting some sane dependency is at least surprising. I will try to create the virtual packages monster and when it fails, I will just hard-code some sane default. What I found particularly surprising in this case was that there was no failover from the missing Archive::Tar to using /usr/bin/tar, which Archive::Extract *is* able to find. Upstream's documentation suggests that Archive::Tar should be tried first and then fall back to tar. > What I found particularly surprising in this case was that there was no > failover from the missing Archive::Tar to using /usr/bin/tar, which > Archive::Extract *is* able to find. I tried it in Fedora 23. If tar is installed and perl-Archive-Tar is not installed, Archive::Extract works for me. But it still warns "You do not have 'Archive::Tar' installed". > Upstream's documentation suggests that > Archive::Tar should be tried first and then fall back to tar. Yes, its funny module. Archive::Tar itself states that /usr/bin/tar is faster, so people concern about performance should use that. Due to the warning I will set dependency on perl(Archive::Tar) unconditionally. perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-2.fc22 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 22. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-2.fc22 perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-2.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-2.fc21 I made a typo (unxz vs. xz) what's fatal for yum (but not for dnf:). Should be fixed in perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-3.fc23 built. perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-3.fc22 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 22. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-3.fc22 perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-3.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-3.fc21 Package perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-3.fc22: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 22 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-3.fc22' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-7300/perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-3.fc22 then log in and leave karma (feedback). perl-Archive-Extract-0.74-3.fc22 has been pushed to the Fedora 22 stable repository.
