The F-9 package of perl-openbabel has modules in "perl 5.8.8" paths, which are not found by F-9's perl 5.10.0. The package therefore needs rebuilding for perl 5.10.0. There was a mass rebuild of perl packages late in the F-9 development period but this package missed out on it, possibly because it is missing a perl version "module compat" dependency and hence didn't have broken deps when perl was upgraded to 5.10.0.
Created attachment 310433 [details] Patch to add perl(:MODULE_COMPAT... dependency and fix some rpmlint warnings
This patch does more than that. I'll add the missing perl requires, but please explain the rest of the hunks.
