RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Iain Arnell 2011-10-31 07:46:28 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #711486 +++

Description of problem:
The perl-CPANPLUS package is missing the perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker package dependency.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-CPANPLUS-0.90-157.fc15.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:
Not tried.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install perl-CPANPLUS
2.Remove perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker
3.run 'cpanp'
  
Actual results:
Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/share/perl5/IPC/Cmd.pm line 210.

Expected results:
Should start normally

The CPANMINUS is part of perl in Fedora:

$ rpm -qf $(type -p cpanp) --qf '%{SOURCERPM}\n'
perl-5.12.3-157.fc15.src.rpm

This will be fixed in next update. Thank you for your report.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to report/fix this, but when I installed a module (DBD::Oracle) using cpanp, it failed with a gcc dependency. Do you think that gcc should also be a dependency of perl-CPANPLUS?

--- Additional comment from mmaslano on 2011-06-08 09:20:58 CEST ---

Not sure, if it's good idea. For other packages you could need mysql or C++ compiler.

This is about perl-IPC-Cmd should require perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker).
