Bug 462444

Hmm, I wonder if this is going to break Test::Output as per Bug #434865 ?

Hmm, I try to install Test::Output from CPAN and tests had passed.

It builds OK in koji too:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=829893&name=build.log

Which leads to two questions:

1. Why does it fail to build on F-8 now, when the cause of the failure seems to be the update of Test::Simple there (Bug #434865)?

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=829945&name=build.log

2. Why is the perl-Test-Simple package in Rawhide versioned 0.72-43.fc10 when in fact the module is 0.80? (Same question for F-8 too I suppose, with different numbers)

Apparent bug in perl.spec - perl-Test-Simple's Version: needs to be bumped.

It's not the only example either - the changelog suggests that Test::Harness is at version 3.12 but the package claims to 2.64.

I think the specs for all active releases need reviewing to fix these inconsistencies; F-8 and Rawhide certainly have issues so I wouldn't be surprised if F-9 did too.

Urgh, do you have a patch at hand? Otherwise I'll walk through the rawhide spec and fix these (I do have write permissions).

I fixed it in rawhide. It was only Test::Simple and Test::Harness. The updates are done by me usually. So I fix it in all branches after myself. I'm sorry :(

While investigating the issues above, I just noticed this
(Likely I should file another BZ)

# rpm -q --provides -p perl-Archive-Extract-0.24-43.fc10.x86_64.rpm 
perl(Archive::Extract) = 0.24
perl(Archive::Tar) = 1.38
perl(Archive::Tar::Constant) = 0.02
perl(Archive::Tar::File) = 0.02
perl-Archive-Extract = 1:0.24-44.fc10
perl-Archive-Extract(x86-64) = 1:0.24-44.fc10

# rpm -q --provides -p perl-Archive-Tar-1.37-43.fc10.x86_64.rpm 
perl(Archive::Tar) = 1.38
perl(Archive::Tar::Constant) = 0.02
perl(Archive::Tar::File) = 0.02
perl-Archive-Tar = 0:1.37-44.fc10
perl-Archive-Tar(x86-64) = 0:1.37-44.fc10


I am inclined to think this broken twice:

a) perl(Archive::Tar) = 1.38 vs. perl-Archive-Tar-1.37
Is this correct?

b) Both
perl-Archive-Extract-0.24-44.fc10.x86_64.rpm
and
perl-Archive-Tar-1.37-44.fc10.x86_64.rpm
Provide: perl(Archive::Tar*)

This can't be right - Likely a bug in rpm's requ/prov scripts.

a) perl(Archive::Tar) = 1.38 package cpan version was 1.37_01. Now it's possible to solve it with update to 1.38.

b) There was typo in %files section and Tar.pm was packaged in both.

Everything will be fixed in perl-5.10.0-44.fc10.

This problem (which also now affects F-9) can be fixed by updating Test::Tester to 0.107.

Test::Output 0.11 was released recently, and Steve will probably hit this problem if/when he comes to build it on F-8 and F-9.
