Description Petr Pisar 2016-10-03 14:11:41 UTC

texlive-bibtexperllibs-svn40139-3.fc26.noarch cannot be installed be it requires perl(BibTeX::Parser) but no package in Fedora provides it.

The reason is the package installs Perl code the uses BibTeX::Parser module, thus perl-generators will export this dependency into the RPM package. The same package does install the BibTeX::Parser, but not into a standard Perl path, thus the generators does not export the provide symbol into the RPM package.

Solution is to stop requiring perl(*) symbols that comes from your private installation path. I.e. add "%global __requires_exclude_from /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/bibtexperllibs/" into the spec file.

Another solution is package the files into standard Perl path.

Actually the modules have upstream on CPAN <http://search.cpan.org/~borisv/BibTeX-Parser/>, so the best solution is stop bundling them with texlive and package them as a standalone package from CPAN. I can package it for you.

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2016-10-03 14:47:09 UTC

Agree that packaging it separately is the cleanest solution, then I can simply empty out that subpackage and have it Require: perl-BibTeX-Parser

Comment 2 Petr Pisar 2016-10-03 16:10:21 UTC

I posted two packages on review. I see you need them in Fedora ≥ 25. Once they arrive to Fedora, you can depend on their modules using "Require: perl(BibTex::Parser)" syntax.

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2016-10-03 17:57:44 UTC

I'm going to go ahead and do a new set of texlive builds in f25 and rawhide. When your updates for f25 are done, let me know, and I'll push them into bodhi alongside texlive.

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2016-10-04 13:18:19 UTC

Both packages are built for F25 and rawhide. I added them into f25-build override. The perl-BibTeX-Parser-0.69-1.fc25 will appear there soon.
