Description Paul Howarth 2010-02-12 11:24:54 UTC 
$ rpm -qp --provides perl-Sub-Uplevel-0.2002-4.fc13.noarch.rpm
perl(DB)  
perl(Sub::Uplevel) = 0.2002
perl-Sub-Uplevel = 0.2002-4.fc13

perl(DB) is provided by the main perl package; the provide here is bogus and should be filtered out, e.g. by adding the following lines to the end of %prep:

# Kludge to remove bogus perl(DB) provide
%global provfilt /bin/sh -c "%{__perl_provides} | %{__grep} -Fvx 'perl(DB)'"
%define __perl_provides %{provfilt}


Also the current upstream version is 0.22; updating to this version would require either an epoch bump or to version the RPM as 0.2200 to maintain the upgrade path.

I'm happy to step in as co-maintainer if you're too busy with other things at the moment.

Or better, simply add %{?perl_default_filter} somewhere above %description.

Yes, that would work for recent Fedoras but the more long-winded approach would also work if the package was rebuilt e.g. for EPEL.
