Description Robert Scheck 2004-08-12 14:29:33 UTC

Description of problem:
If I want to install a perl module rpm (third-party) which requires 
Carp::Heavy, I'm not able to do, because of this missing dependency.

But please have a look: 

--- snipp ---
# rpm -ql perl | grep Carp/H
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/Carp/Heavy.pm
#
--- snapp ---

Woho, perl provides this module, but the rpm still doesn't. It seems  
to be the same problem like bug #128507 from Fedora Development.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.8.0-88.4

Actual results:
The following (merged from Fedora Development) solves that problem 
for me:

Expected results:
Use of the patch for the next perl rebuild for RHEL3 ;-)

Additional info:
I marked this issue only with a low priority, because RHEL3 doesn't 
have an perl module rpm which requires Carp::Heavy, so only third- 
party perl module rpms can cause this problem. Nevertheless it is a 
issue which should be fixed.

Comment 1 Steve Bonds 2005-10-14 17:55:41 UTC

I'd like to see this fixed as well.

Comment 2 Jason Vas Dias 2005-11-09 21:16:51 UTC

OK, the next perl release for RHEL-3: perl-5.8.0-90.2
now 'Provides: perl(Carp::Heavy)' .

Comment 3 Robert Scheck 2006-05-26 15:07:19 UTC

Jason, I would like to close this bug report, as I verified it in Errata of 
perl-5.8.0-90.4, but Bugzilla is telling me:

"You tried to change the Status field from MODIFIED to CLOSED, but only the 
owner or submitter of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user, may change
that field." - in fact I am the submitter of the bug...looks like a Bugzilla 
bug? ;-)
