Description of problem: When $VERSION is set twice inside the same package, the latest definition prevails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.4.2.3-2.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Package DateTime-Format-DBI :) (see bug 455788) Lines 10 and 11 of lib/DateTime/Format/DBI.pm are: $VERSION = '0.031'; $VERSION = $VERSION + 0.0; Note that perl.prov finds the version as "0.0". Actual results: ====> provides for perl-DateTime-Format-DBI-0.031-1.fc9.noarch.rpm perl(DateTime::Format::DBI) = 0.0 perl-DateTime-Format-DBI = 0.031-1.fc9 Expected results: ====> provides for perl-DateTime-Format-DBI-0.031-1.fc9.noarch.rpm perl(DateTime::Format::DBI) = 0.031 perl-DateTime-Format-DBI = 0.031-1.fc9
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Created attachment 487328 [details] the highest $VERSION from file is used The value of $VERSION will be evaluated and only the highest defined version will be used as provided. This could fix possible typos by upstream and also bug with adding +0.0 value, which was interpreted as provided version 0.0.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Mmh, somewhere down the line this has gotten a patch that's fallen through the cracks, sorry about that :-/ Reassigning to perl-generators where this'll hopefully get more attention.
