Created attachment 710782 [details] Shell session of an attempted install of perl-Const-Fast Description of problem: The perl-Const-Fast module depends on the Sub::Exporter module, but no package containing that module is available from EPEL or from standard RHEL repos. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-Const-Fast-0.006-1.el6.noarch How reproducible: Easily reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to install perl-Const-Fast (or any module that depends on Sub::Exporter, such as perl-Sub-Exporter-Progressive) via Yum 2. An error message indicates a dependency on perl(Sub::Exporter) which cannot be satisfied Actual results: The desired package is not installed Expected results: The package and its required dependencies are installed Additional info: I have attached copypasta of a shell session showing the exact error message from Yum, along with an appropriate whatprovides search showing that no other package contains the module in question. Thanks.
Humm... this is embarrassing. When I took ownership of the Fedora branches for this package, I somehow grabbed (or was given the EL6 branch). I don't use EPEL and don't feel I'm qualified to maintain a package on that branch. I've now orphaned it and anybody willing should feel free to pick it up and re-open this bug. James, you might want to consider filing a bug against perl-Sub-Exporter asking its maintainer if he would care to maintain an EL6 branch.
Emmanuel, Thanks for the update. I have opened bug 923997 against perl-Sub-Exporter per your recommendation. -- James
