Sorry for the long delay in processing this bug. The Thread::Signal package was never shipped in the upstream perl-5.8.0 release - it appears CPAN was in error when it told you it was back in 2003-06-27 . Now, a CPAN build of Thread::Status under RHEL-3 perl-5.8.0 does pull in the Thread::Signal package OK. |
Description of problem: While installing Thread::Status it required a dependent module Thread::Signal. It claims that Thread::Signal is bundled in perl 5.8.0. However RedHat's build of perl 5.8.0 does not include this module. Please correct in an errata. Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Warning: prerequisite Thread::Signal 1.06 not found. Writing Makefile for Thread::Status ---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during [E/EL/ELIZABETH/Thread-Status-0.03.tar.gz] ----- Thread::Signal Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue of modules we are processing right now? [yes] Running make test Delayed until after prerequisites Running make install Delayed until after prerequisites Running install for module Thread::Signal Running make for J/JH/JHI/perl-5.8.0.tar.gz The most recent version "1.00" of the module "Thread::Signal" comes with the current version of perl (5.8.0). I'll build that only if you ask for something like force install Thread::Signal or install J/JH/JHI/perl-5.8.0.tar.gz and then trying to install the missing module from CPAN results in CPAN attempting to build 5.8.0 again which is less than ideal: cpan> force install Thread::Signal Running install for module Thread::Signal Running make for J/JH/JHI/perl-5.8.0.tar.gz Fetching with LWP: ftp://cpan.uky.edu/pub/CPAN/authors/id/J/JH/JHI/perl-5.8.0.tar.gz Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.8.0-88 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to install Thread::Status from CPAN and watch the dependency fail Actual results: See Description section above. Expected results: Thread::Signal should be included in the default RH-shipped perl build as it is in the default perl 5.8.0 build. Additional info:
