Description of problem: The Perl RPM ships with the *NDBM* core modules missing. There is NO WAY to install the missing modules, because they are only available inside the Perl source tarball; if I want this module (and I do) I have no choice but to rebuild Perl from scratch. There's no reason (and no excuse) to rip core modules *out* of your distribution. Please put it back. Thanks. Additional Information Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ALL How reproducible: EVERY TIME Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Perl 2. perl -MNDBM_File -e 0 3. Stand back in shock and horror Actual results: No such module error. Expected results: No errors. Additional info: The relevant changelog entries are: * Mon Jan 27 2003 Chip Turner <cturner> - version the Obsoleted on perl-NDBM_File so users can install newer - change the Obsoletes on NDBM_File to a Conflicts ones than what shipped with 7.3, yet still keep anaconda happy * Thu Dec 20 2001 Chip Turner <cturner> - remove ndbm completely * Sun Dec 16 2001 Chip Turner <cturner> - make rpmlint happy, split out NDBM_File, clean up other spots - stopped doing grep -v etc in favor of custom script
It will be fixed in perl-5.10.1-116.el6 and higher in next minor update. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 640729 ***
