Description Ralf Corsepius 2010-05-11 05:09:23 UTC

Description of problem:

When building some perl-modules with perl-5.12-0-122, I am observing this:
...
+ /usr/bin/gzip -dc /builddir/build/SOURCES/Catalyst-Runtime-5.80021.tar.gz
+ /bin/tar -xf -
+ STATUS=0
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ cd Catalyst-Runtime-5.80021
+ /bin/chmod -Rf a+rX,u+w,g-w,o-w .
+ perldoc perlgpl
sh: nroff: command not found
+ perldoc perlartistic
sh: nroff: command not found
...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.12.0-122

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. try rebuilding perl-Catalyst-Runtime-5.80021


  
Actual results:
c.f. above.

Expected results:
No warning.

Additional info:
Smells like either a build/configuration error in perl 
or a missing dependency of the package containing 
/usr/bin/perldoc (i.e. ATM, the "perl" package) to me.

I guess you are missing groff as BuildRequirement. It was probably removed from minimal install, because not many packages use it during build.

I am using mock with a slightly modifed "fc13" configuration (Urls tweaked to point to "14" instead of "13" and a repo containing a local perl-5.12.0 rebuild added.

The bug is reproducable in koji:

Comment 3 Ralf Corsepius 2010-05-11 12:30:15 UTC

Sorry forgot the task id (a scatch built of a fedora-13 package against
perl-f14-perltest)
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2179571

Comment 4 Marcela Mašláňová 2010-07-08 13:37:55 UTC

Perldoc calls: pod2man | nroff -man | $PAGER so if you don't install groff, which provides nroff, it can't work. 

Mock didn't contain groff so it should have this problem even before. The only change between F-13 and F-14 was using man-db instead of man. Also I removed 'man' as BR from perl. But these changes shouldn't have any effect on this issue.

Well, I haven't checked if this issue is new, I only reported an issue which I was observing when rebuilding rawhide's perl ;)

Comment 6 Marcela Mašláňová 2010-07-09 06:08:49 UTC

It's old issue. http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/perl-Catalyst-Runtime/5.80013/2.fc12/data/logs/noarch/build.log

Simply add BR: groff into every package, which miss it. I added it into perl-Catalyst-Runtime.
