Description Richard Hughes 2011-09-08 13:40:29 UTC
Description of problem:

I saw this in my logs this morning:

(zif:8996): Zif-WARNING **: found multiple provides for perl(DynaLoader) ~ :
(zif:8996): Zif-WARNING **: 1.	perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.57.5-187.fc16.noarch (updates-testing)
(zif:8996): Zif-WARNING **: 2.	perl-4:5.14.1-187.fc16.x86_64 (updates-testing)

$ zif what-provides "perl(DynaLoader)"

It seems odd to me that a trivial makefile generator would provide shared functionality to link C libraries. Perhaps something in the auto-dep-extractor has gone crazy?

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

perl-4:5.14.1-185.fc16.x86_64
perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.57.5-187.fc16.noarch

How reproducible:

Always.

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2011-09-08 13:54:50 UTC
I think this is where the false positive is coming from:

usr/share/perl5/ExtUtils/Mkbootstrap.pm

32    if (-f "${baseext}_BS"){
33        $_ = "${baseext}_BS";
34        package DynaLoader; # execute code as if in DynaLoader
35        local($osname, $dlsrc) = (); # avoid warnings
36        ($osname, $dlsrc) = @Config::Config{qw(osname dlsrc)};
37        $bscode = "";
38        unshift @INC, ".";
39        require $_;
40        shift @INC;
41    }
42
43    if ($Config{'dlsrc'} =~ /^dl_dld/){
44        package DynaLoader;
45        push(@dl_resolve_using, dl_findfile('-lc'));
46    }

Just needs to be filtered out.

Comment 2 Iain Arnell 2011-09-08 16:09:11 UTC
Can we filter Provides for a specific sub-package? Or need to filter it globally then explicitly provide it again in main perl package?

Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2011-09-08 16:31:35 UTC
I think filters are global. Also manually added dependencies are added after filtering.
