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: --> Processing Dependency: perl(Exception::Class) for package: perl-Perl-Critic-1.105-2.el6.noarch --> Processing Dependency: perl(Devel::StackTrace) >= 1.20 for package: perl-Exception-Class-1.29-1.1.el6.noarch [-snip-] Error: Package: perl-Exception-Class-1.29-1.1.el6.noarch (epel) Requires: perl(Devel::StackTrace) >= 1.20 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.
It was pointed out in another bug report that EPEL pulls packages from Optional. This module is present there, hence closing this bug.
