Description Need Real Name 2002-09-07 01:01:13 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0)

Description of problem:
when packaging a series of perl modules, rpm-build finds dependencies and 
generates a list of modules provided and modules required.  a module should not 
BOTH be required and provided.  if it is provided it should not be required.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a perl script "use" a module
2. have that module included in an rpm
3. look at --requires
	

Additional info:

it would be useful for this form to request a version number!  I'm running 
4.0.4-7x of rpm-build
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2002-09-17 20:43:14 UTC 
Actually there are (or will be shortly) reasons to
have both provides and matching requires in the
same package. Meanwhile, the overhead is minimal,
so there's little reason to fix.
Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-09-17 20:53:41 UTC 
if a package requires something that it provides, it fails to install, and that 
is NO good.
Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2002-09-18 13:47:03 UTC 
You are mistaken.
