I think you need to enable the RHEL-6 "Optional" channel, which is a requirement for EPEL-6 as many of its dependencies come from there (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL). The perl-Sub-Exporter-Progressive package could not actually have been built if perl-Sub-Exporter was not available, as it's required for the test suite. Right there on the front page, too :-\ Sorry about that, and thanks for the pointer. |
Created attachment 713481 [details] Shell session showing attempted installation of package that depends on perl-Sub-Exporter Description of problem: A number of Perl packages in EPEL depend on the Sub::Exporter module, but no package containing that module is available from EPEL or from standard RHEL repos. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-Sub-Exporter How reproducible: Easily reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to install perl-Sub-Exporter-Progressive (or any module that depends on Sub::Exporter, such as perl-Const-Fast) via Yum 2. An error message indicates a dependency on perl(Sub::Exporter) which cannot be satisfied Actual results: The desired package is not installed Expected results: The package and its required dependencies are installed Additional info: I have attached a copy-paste of a shell session showing the exact error message from Yum, along with an appropriate whatprovides search showing that no other package contains the module in question. I had initially filed a bug against perl-Const-Fast, which is what I was originally trying to install that depends on perl-Sub-Exporter; that bug report was number 922222. The (former) maintainer of that package closed that report and suggested I file against this component instead and you can read his update in the other report for more details. Thanks.
