From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040718 Firefox/0.9.1 Description of problem: SPEC for perl 5.8.5 is missing compatibility links for 5.8.4 on the post script and the build parameters. this breaks the update of this package from a 5.8.4 based package which is providing libperl.so, like vim-enhanced-6.3.014-1 (BUG 128535 and BUG 128524) and which are expecting libperl.so to be on the corresponding architecture/version directory (ex: /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.4/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so) as the dependency is decided as compile time and is specific to the architecture/version used on the build machine, a different scheme which uses a generic dependency name (Require: perl) and changes to use a path agnostic libperl.so was suggested (might be tricky on multi arch platforms though). eventhough, as a workaround for backward compatibility is already deployed on the current SPEC, a patch which fixes this using the current approach is attached. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.8.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Fedora Core3 test 1 (AMD64, eventhough it is not arch specific) 2. update -u perl 3. Actual Results: /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.4/x86_64-linux-thread-multi is needed by (installed) vim-enhanced-6.3.014-1 Expected Results: package updated Additional info:
Created attachment 102199 [details] patch to perl.spec to add missing backward compatibility links for perl 5.8.4 adds 5.8.4 to the defined list on -Dinc_version_list and a link to the 5.8.4 on the %install script
this should be fixed in 5.8.5-7
Looks good to me.
