I'll have a look and let you know
Found it: I had upgraded Test::Builder using CPAN. On the other hand
Test::Builder could be updated using perl-Test-Simple (which seems to build
fine). The only issue is that its files conflict with those of
perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3
Right, which is a source of many problems. I would like to look at a
simple solution that we can add to specific perl modules, so that on RHEL5
they can be installed next to perl if needed.
Now, I would prefer not to do that by default. But optionally people could
rebuild those packages with a specific flag and all will be well for them.
Again the reason why I do not want to ship perl packages that replaces
modules shipped with perl is that depsolvers (think yum, apt) have no clue
that they are pulling something that is already on the system and therefor
users are not aware of them replacing base perl modules, which may break
an existing perl application.
That is why I think we need to somehow make Red Hat understand that they
should not add CPAN distributions to the perl package.
In the end we "could" make a seperate directory with those packages
(tagged cpan ?) that are provided for those perl daredevils :)
Maybe that would satisfy Hugo as well ?
