Description Peter Robinson 2012-01-17 17:43:18 UTC 
When trying to build perl-HTML-Parser you get a circular dep.

DEBUG util.py:307:  Executing command: ['/usr/bin/yum-builddep', '--installroot', '/var/lib/mock/f17-build-64557-36371/root/', '/var/lib/mock/f17-build-64557-36371/root///builddir/build/SRPMS/perl-HTML-Parser-3.69-2.fc17.src.rpm']

Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2012-01-18 09:37:15 UTC 
We know a lot of Perl packages have circular dependencies (about 800 Perl packages do not bootstrap in F17). This is to fulfill build-time tests. 

In this case perl-HTML-Parser.spec build-requires perl(HTTP::Headers) that is provided by perl-HTTP-Message that requires perl(HTML::Parser) >= 3.33 which is provided by perl-HTML-Parser.

We are in process of weaken these dependencies by qualifying them by existence of `perl_bootstrap' spec macro. Before fixing it, you can rebuild all packages by adding `Provides: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.12.0)' into `perl' package temporarily.

Any chance we could have this added to the perl in rawhide until sometime leading up to the beta? It would assist greatly in bringing ARM up to parity with mainline, as well as likely other secondary arches.
Comment 3 Petr Pisar 2012-01-18 11:27:40 UTC 
What's `beta' status of rawhide? I can add it and keep it until branching F17. Not later. Otherwise push your own perl version or a dummy package that provides perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.12.0) and requires perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.14.0) into ARM build-root.
Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2012-01-18 15:57:38 UTC 
The dependency has been broken by perl_bootstrap macro.
