perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.0)
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:10 EST
Description of problem: ( enhancement) perl rpm does not provide perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.0) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.8.0-94.EL3 How reproducible: sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. taroon.server.shell> rpmbuild --rebuild http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/testing/5/SRPMS/spamassassin-3.1.7-1.fc5.src.rpm 2. rpm -Uvh spamassassin-3.1.7-1.i386.rpm 3. error: Failed dependencies: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.0) is needed by spamassassin-3.1.7-1 Actual results: error: Failed dependencies: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.0) is needed by spamassassin-3.1.7-1 Expected results: gets updated Additional info: newer versions of perl in RHEL and fedora provide perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_$version) It would be nice if the RHEL3 build of perl also provided that also. Some of us back compile newer versions of various perl software ( like spamassassin); being able to "rpmbuild --rebuild ..." rather than download, edit , rpmbuild ... would be nice. thanks
