I didn't actually verify the bug in Rawhide, so I'm setting the Version to "Fedora 16". Sorry for the extra email, I should have paid more attention before submitting the bug. perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-3.el6 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 6. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-3.el6 perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-3.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-3.fc16 perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-3.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-3.el5 perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-3.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-3.fc17 perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-3.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-3.fc15 Package perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-3.fc15: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 15 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. There is no EL6 version of perl-IO-stringy, so this change breaks perl-Config-IniFiles on EL6. (In reply to Konstantin Ryabitsev from comment #13) > There is no EL6 version of perl-IO-stringy, so this change breaks > perl-Config-IniFiles on EL6. Yes there is; it's in RHEL (optional), and CentOS (see Bug #884802). You are correct, of course. For some reason this particular server didn't have the optional channel on. Sorry for the noise. |
Description of problem: It is possible to pass a reference to a variable containing the ini "config file" to Config::IniFiles->new() This feature requires IO::Scalar to be installed. However, rpmbuild doesn't pick this dependency automatically. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-Config-IniFiles-2.68-1.fc16.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install perl-Config-IniFiles 2. Run the following perl script: -- test.pl -- use Config::IniFiles; my $ini = "[section]\nkey=value"; my $config = Config::IniFiles->new(-file=>\$ini); ------------- Actual results: On a system without perl-IO-stringy installed, I get: [mathieu@localhost ~]$ perl test.pl Failed to open SCALAR(0x1034c48): No such file or directory at test.pl line 5 This means that the package is missing a requires on perl(IO::Scalar) Expected results: The script should not fail, because perl-IO-stringy would be installed. Additional info: The problem is present both in Fedora 16 and EPEL 6, probably in other releases as well. Note that the requirement should probably be picked up by rpmbuild, my guess is that rpmbuild doesn't like the way IO::Scalar is used in Config::IniFiles: -- lib/Config/IniFiles.pm:2265 -- if (ref($thing) eq "SCALAR") { if (eval { require IO::Scalar; $IO::Scalar::VERSION >= 2.109; }) { return IO::Scalar->new($thing); } else { warn "SCALAR reference as file descriptor requires IO::stringy ". "v2.109 or later" if ($^W); return; } } --------------------------------- Perhaps it could be added to the spec file in the meantime?
