vim-6.2.154-5 needs missing perl-5.8.2-2 dependency
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:59:58 EDT
Description of problem: ----------------------- The /usr/bin/vim binary from package vim-6.2.154-5 requires the libperl.so dynamic library that comes with perl-5.8.2-2. However, the vim-6.2.154-5 RPM package does not require at least perl version 5.8.2. Running "ldd /usr/bin/vim" when perl 5.8.1 is installed complains that /usr/lib/libperl.so is missing. Upgrading from perl-5.8.1 to perl-5.8.2-2 solves the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vim-minimal-6.2.154-5 How reproducible: ----------------- Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure perl-5.8.1 is installed 2. Install/upgrade to vim-6.2.154-5 3. ldd /usr/bin/vim Ldd will complain about missing /usr/lib/libperl.so dynamic library. Upgrading to perl-5.8.2 solves the problem. Actual results: --------------- vim-6.2.154-5 does not depend on perl-5.8.2-2 Expected results: ----------------- vim-6.2.154-5 should depend on perl-5.8.2-2 Additional info:
will be fixed in one of the next releases, patch already commited to CVS
Hm, in my eyes that change/fix is still foo, bar or gaga ;-) vim-enhanced ONLY requires perl! The following was generated with ldd after an rebuild from the latest vim at Red Hat 9 - perl 5.8.0 used: --- snipp --- libperl.so => /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so (0x40068000) --- snapp --- I think, the problem above was, that vim wasn't rebuilded (or not correctly). Please change the dependence to "perl" instead of "perl >= 5.8.x" :) Thank you.
No, vim-enhanced really needs to require the right perl version, but I've changed the requires line to check which version is installed at build-time.
