perl.spec patch for perl-File-Temp Provides/Obsoletes none

Description Bill McGonigle 2008-02-21 17:22:44 UTC 
perl now includes File::Temp as part of the standard distribution.  Before that,
it was commonly used, so many 3rd-party packages required File::Temp, and good
little RPM-lovers distributed perl-File-Temp.

This led to common RPM's, such as perl-MIME-Tools, requiring perl(File::Temp).

Now that File::Temp is part of perl, yum will bail with conflicts since the
files conflict, e.g.:
Error: Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/share/man/man3/File::Temp.3pm.gz from install of
perl-5.8.8-32.fc8.i386 conflicts with file from package
perl-File-Temp-0.19-1.fc8.rf.noarch

which is as it should be.

To solve this cleanly, perl needs to declare that it now has File::Temp.  I've
got a simple patch to the .spec I'll attach.  Please sanity-check it.

The goal here is to get yum working again for folks who use things like MailScanner.

Comment 2 Marcela Mašláňová 2008-02-22 08:24:12 UTC 
Thank you for a patch, it will be i next update into F-8.
Comment 3 Stepan Kasal 2008-02-22 12:39:30 UTC 
We shall not obsolete newer packages, so I changed that to

Provides: perl-File-Temp = 0.16
Obsoletes: perl-File-Temp < 0.16
Conflicts: perl-File-Temp

I also commited this to rawhide, to fix the problem for Fedora 9.
