There is a circular build dependency involving perl-Params-Validate and perl-Test-Pod-LinkCheck, e.g.: perl-Params-Validate -> perl-Test-Pod-LinkCheck -> perl-Moose -> perl-DateTime -> perl-Params-Validate There are a variety of these involving other DateTime-derived packages, and it looks to me that the simplest solution would be drop the perl(Test::Pod::LinkCheck) build requirement when bootstrapping a new perl, as will be done for 5.18 in Rawhide shortly. e.g. %if 0%{!?perl_bootstrap:1} BuildRequires: perl(Test::Pod::LinkCheck) %endif There's also a mixture of uses of tabs and spaces in the current spec., which could possibly be addressed at the same time.

With all due respect, I could not care less about this.

I'll look into this later this week. I have been looking into this BZ several times now, but can not spot the circular dependency between perl-Params-Validate and perl-Test-Pod-LinkCheck you are referring to. Neither building perl-Params-Validate nor building perl-Test-Pod-LinkCheck seems to pull in one of the modules provided by the other.

The cycle is more complicated than that. Bear in mind this is for a bootstrapping situation where none of these packages is currently available as a build dependency. We have: perl-Params-Validate build-requires perl(Test::Pod::LinkCheck) perl-Test-Pod-LinkCheck build-requires perl(Moose) perl-Moose build-requires perl(DateTime) perl-DateTime build-requires perl(Params::Validate) So currently none of these packages or anything that depends on them can be built in a bootstrap environment.
Fixed in perl-Params-Validate-1.08-2.fc20
