Description of problem: Performed 'yum install bugzilla' on a 2 month old fresh fedora 19 install with all yum package updates. The checksetup.pl failed because of missing perl module dependancies. How reproducible: every time on my system, but don't have any additional systems to test on. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install bugzilla # (repository was: #http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/ ) 2. cd /usr/share/bugzilla 3. ./checksetup.pl Actual results: a list of missing packages and instructions to run the following commands: yum install "perl(Chart::Lines)" yum install "perl(Template::Plugin::GD::Image)" yum install "perl(GD::Text)" yum install "perl(GD::Graph)" yum install "perl(XML::Twig)" yum install "perl(PatchReader)" yum install "perl(Authen::Radius)" yum install "perl(JSON::RPC)" yum install "perl(JSON::XS)" yum install "perl(Test::Taint)" yum install "perl(HTML::Scrubber)" yum install "perl(Encode::Detect)" yum install "perl(Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper)" yum install "perl(Email::Reply)" yum install "perl(Daemon::Generic)" Even after running the suggested commands checkup.pl continued to complain about the Email::Reply module. The version installed by yum install was broken and replaced by a newer version. Note: there is also bug in the Email::Reply CPAN release (1.202). It is not correctly resolving the dependency on the latest Email::Abstract which is also out of date in the yum repository (has 3.002 need 3.005). Expected results: checksetup.pl to at least have gotten to the database section. Additional info: My solution: perl -MCPAN -e shell cpan> install Email::Abstract cpan> install Email::reply cpan> exit cd /usr/share/bugzilla ./checksetup.pl Now is complaining about mysql and localconfig, which is expected.
(In reply to Paul Houghton from comment #0) > > a list of missing packages and instructions to run the following commands: [snip list of yum commands] These all look like optional dependencies and checksetup.pl should keep going even if they are missing. Is there anyone of these modules that isn't ? > Even after running the suggested commands checkup.pl continued to complain > about the Email::Reply module. Are you sure about this ? Email::Reply is definitely optional. Emmanuel
I had a very similar issue where bugzilla checksetup.pl would complain about missing the Email::Send module even though it was already installed. I had a look at another bugzilla install and found out that the Module::Pluggable module seems required and it indeed fixed my problem. I think this module should be added as a dependency.

That sounds much more plausible. Paul, is this what you were seeing ? > I had a look at another bugzilla install and found out that the > Module::Pluggable module seems required and it indeed fixed my problem. Removing perl-Module-Pluggable has the effect that checksetup can no longer detect Email-Send. Running the command "perl -MEmail::Send -e '1'" gives the following error : Can't locate Module/Pluggable.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Email/Send.pm line 10. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Email/Send.pm line 10. Compilation failed in require. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. So Module::Pluggable is required by Email::Send but the package containing the latter doesn't depend on the former. And bugzilla then fails because Email::Send doesn't work. Looking at Email::Send's source code, I suspect rpm doesn't understand the 'use Module::Pluggable' line (note the lack of semi-colon at the end) and doesn't include the dependency automatically. > I think this module should be added as a dependency. Definatly but it should be added in the perl-Email-Send package where it will get pick up by all Email::Send users and not just bugzilla. Spot, this one's yours.
