Description of problem: /usr/bin/cpan strongly suggests to install "Digest::SHA". Fedora's perl-CPAN, however doesn't depend on "perl(Digest::SHA)", i.e. users will be tempted to manually install Digest::SHA Note: We are talking about Fedora+cpan users. It's this group of users, which at least I consider to be specially susceptible to using cpan instead of using rpm-packaged perl-modules. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.10.1-112.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install perl-CPAN 2. /usr/bin/cpan 3. get Test Actual results: cpan issues a "strong suggestion": ... CPAN: checksum security checks disabled because Digest::SHA not installed. Please consider installing the Digest::SHA module. Expected results: cpan not to issue such warning and to behave "safe by default".
Seems sensible to me.
As I'm usually against rich dependencies, however I can do that. I have prepared new perl releases because of bug #607687, thus I can postpone the update and include this wish too. I ask Marcela on her opinion.
Marcela agrees, I will take care about it. Affected: F12, F13, F14.
perl-CPANPLUS subpackage has the same problem. I'll add the requirement too. I'm thinking about F14 where we started upgrading bundled packages by adding dual-lived ones. Actually I'm not sure how to deal with this bug. New standalone package meant increasing epoch. I don't like it. I think modifying perl.spec with higher release number is more appropriate in this case. Any suggestions?
