This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 3 Marcela Mašláňová 2011-10-26 11:51:03 UTC
This module can't own every man-page man3/MIME::*. It should own only MIME::tools manpages.

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2011-10-26 14:12:56 UTC
I cannot find binary package `perl-MIME-Base64' in any RHEL-6 repository. Could be more specific where you get the package?

Google says it's likely Dag's package:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/dag/redhat/el6/x86_64/perl-MIME-Base64-3.13-1.el6.rf.x86_64.html

It hasn't been part of RHEL as separate package since Red Hat Linux 7.

I think so, but I need confirmation from reporter. If this is true, he need to change the spec file to install files into Perl vendor paths instead of core paths and I can close this report as not-a-bug. Otherwise the universe can transit to other state than you or I expect.

Comment 7 Ken Dreyer 2011-10-30 00:32:16 UTC
The "el6.rf" in the original report sounds like Dag's package.

Please, do not shut down the needinfo flag. I need confirmation from the reporter.

Comment 10 Petr Pisar 2011-12-06 15:41:48 UTC
Closing this report because reporter has not provided enough details.
