Description Michal Nowak 2008-03-20 08:43:34 UTC 
Description of problem:

While installing perl-XML-LibXML via pup/pirut (as a dependency for
cman-2.0.80-1.el5) I got this warning

perl-XML-LibXML - 1.58-5.i386
could not find ParserDetails.ini in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/XML/SAX

file /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini belongs to
perl-XML-SAX-0.14-5 which was installed as new dependency too but prio to
perl-XML-LibXML.

399 Mar 20 09:21:58 Installed: perl-XML-NamespaceSupport - 1.09-1.2.1.noarch
400 Mar 20 09:21:58 Installed: perl-XML-SAX - 0.14-5.noarch
401 ...
402 Mar 20 09:21:59 Installed: perl-XML-LibXML-Common - 0.13-8.2.2.i386
403 Mar 20 09:22:00 Installed: perl-XML-LibXML - 1.58-5.i386
404 Mar 20 09:22:00 could not find ParserDetails.ini in
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/XML/SAX
405 
406 Mar 20 09:22:01 Updated: cman - 2.0.80-1.el5.i386

Might be some regression, ParserDetails.ini is mentioned in spec file:

100 * Sun Apr 18 2004 Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta at iki.fi> - 1.58-1
101 - #121168
102 - Update to 1.58.
104 - Handle ParserDetails.ini parser registration.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-XML-LibXML-1.58-5

How reproducible:

on first install of perl-XML-LibXML and perl-XML-SAX

newman@dhcp-lab-198 ~ $ sudo rpm -e perl-XML-LibXML --nodeps perl-XML-SAX
newman@dhcp-lab-198 ~ $ rpmquery -f

Complete!


Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove perl-XML-LibXML and perl-XML-SAX
2. install them again
3. see the warning
  
Actual results:
warning and maybe some unconfigured parser

Expected results:
no warning and configured parser (?)

Additional info:

Actually, I dunno whether the warning about something what did not happen
(configuration) is important or not, but I believe we should avoid all
unnecessary warnings.
Comment 1 Marcela Mašláňová 2008-03-20 09:51:57 UTC 
ParserDetails.ini is %ghost in perl-XML-SAX. Something must changed in code of
later versions, because the problem disappear f.e. in F-8.
Comment 2 Michal Nowak 2008-04-02 11:30:12 UTC 
It's gone for me in rawhide.
