in constructing a Requires: list for bugzilla, I found that perl-DBI does not provide a version number for perl(DBI), though many of its other provides are versioned. I'm currently testing for perl-DBI >= x, but it would be more correct to test for perl(DBI) >= x. Could this be added?
Shouldn't be rpm able to create provides for perl(DBI) when it's able to parse perl(DBI) in repo?
Resolved in perl-DBI-1.609-3, the versioned perl(DBI) provide was added to the spec file. (In reply to comment #1) > Shouldn't be rpm able to create provides for perl(DBI) [...] ? No doubt it should. But since the script for generating perl provides is due to rewrite anyway, let this be for now.
