Description of problem: Trying to install perl-Perl-Critic package from EPEL6 on RHEL6 causes the error below. This installs cleanly on RHEL5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): n/a How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install EPEL5 on RHEL5 and EPEL6 on RHEL6 2. Attempt to install perl-Perl-Critic on both systems 3. Observe that the above package installs cleanly on RHEL5 but fails on RHEL6. Actual results: Error: Package: perl-Perl-Critic-1.105-2.el6.noarch (epel) Requires: perl(Readonly) Expected results: Package and dependencies installed successfully Additional info: There are other modules that perl-Perl-Critic depends on which are missing from EPEL6. I will be filing a bug against those as well.
EPEL pulls in dependencies from the "optional" channel/repo in RHEL, as mentioned on the EPEL wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F Do you have that enabled?
Added it and the dependency appeared. Thank you for your insight.
