+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #736612 +++ Description of problem: The fcgi package in EPEL-6 contains embedded copy of perl Fast CGI (FCGI) module from CPAN: [1] http://search.cpan.org/dist/FCGI/FCGI.PL But there already is dedicated, system perl-FCGI package, present in EPEL-6. Thus fcgi package should depend on perl-FCGI package, rather than using its own embbedded copy (so in case of security flaw in perl-FCGI, the fcgi package won't need to be updated too). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fcgi-2.4.0-10.el6.src.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # pwd ../BUILD/fcgi-2.4.0 2. fcgi-2.4.0]# cd perl/ 3. perl]# ls aclocal.m4 configure echo.PL FCGI.PL Makefile.PL oldinterface.pod remote.PL typemap ChangeLog configure.in fcgi_config.h.in FCGI.XL MANIFEST README threaded.PL version.pm Actual results: Own copy of CPAN FCGI module is embbeded in fcgi package. Expected results: EPEL-6 fcgi package uses system perl-FCGI package.
fcgi does not use but provide the perl module in a sub package fcgi-perl. Afaics perl-FCGI needs to obsolete fcgi-perl according to these Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Renaming_Process#Re-review_required Since the perl-FCGI maintainer is the co-maintainer of fcgi wrt. the -perl subpackage, I reassign this bug to perl-FCGI to take care of removing the -perl subpackage from fcgi and addding the proper Provides/Obsoletes etc to perl-FCGI. Also any provenpackager is welcome to perform the required changes to fcgi-perl. Btw. fcgi-perl exists in EPEL 5, too.
I've cherry-picked the fix for bug 736612 to el6 branch (and fixed the license tag). Since perl-FCGI already obsoletes fcgi-perl package, I don't think it's necessary to push an update for this.
