Description Thomas Spear 2016-12-21 18:52:58 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying to install perl-Perl-Critic package from EPEL6 on RHEL6 causes the error below. This installs cleanly on RHEL5.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
n/a

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install EPEL5 on RHEL5 and EPEL6 on RHEL6
2. Attempt to install perl-Perl-Critic on both systems
3. Observe that the above package installs cleanly on RHEL5 but fails on RHEL6.

Actual results:
Error: Package: perl-Perl-Critic-1.105-2.el6.noarch (epel)
           Requires: perl(PPI::Token::Whitespace)
Error: Package: perl-Perl-Critic-1.105-2.el6.noarch (epel)
           Requires: perl(PPI::Document)
Error: Package: perl-Perl-Critic-1.105-2.el6.noarch (epel)
           Requires: perl(PPI::Token::Magic)
Error: Package: perl-Perl-Critic-1.105-2.el6.noarch (epel)
           Requires: perl(PPI::Document::File)
Error: Package: perl-Perl-Critic-1.105-2.el6.noarch (epel)
           Requires: perl(PPI::Token::Symbol)
Error: Package: perl-Perl-Critic-1.105-2.el6.noarch (epel)
           Requires: perl(PPI::Node)
Error: Package: perl-Perl-Critic-1.105-2.el6.noarch (epel)
           Requires: perl(PPI::Token::Quote::Single)


Expected results:
Package and dependencies installed successfully

Additional info:
There are other modules that perl-Perl-Critic depends on which are missing from EPEL6. I will be filing a bug against those as well.

Comment 1 Thomas Spear 2016-12-21 19:57:15 UTC
It was pointed out in another bug report that EPEL pulls packages from Optional. This module is present there, hence closing this bug.
