Description of problem: Perl 5.8.5 (and 5.8.4) already includes a more recent version of Time::HiRes than the one shipped as perl-Time-HiRes Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.8.5-9 How reproducible: Always. Additional info: Perl distro Time::HiRes core module ---------------------------------------- v5.8.4 v1.59 v5.8.5 v1.59 perl-Time-HiRes package ----------------------- fedora core 3 test 3 ships with perl-Time-HiRes-1.55-3.src.rpm. Patch to perl.spec ------------------ The following line must be removed from the perl.spec: ... find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -name '*HiRes*' | xargs rm -rfv ... Related bugzilla entry: 136494
This also applies to rawhide (perl 5.8.6). See also #136494, and #141100.
CPAN is already up to 1.66. the reason we explicitly remove it from perl is because it updates frequently upstream. the correct solution is to upgrade the separate perl-Time- HiRes package, which will be done sometime in the next week or so., along with other perl modules. marking this particular bug as deferred, but only because I'll fix it as part of a separate set of updates
