hi, today i found two packages that provide half of perl.
psad-1.2.3-1mdl from contrib and wml-2.0.9 from MAIN <========
AAAARGHHHH!!!!
psad has perl modules in /usr/lib/psad/i386-linux wml has perl modules in /usr/lib/wml/perl/lib so perl.prov finds those, but perl does NOT
grumble!
this is an example of what i found, but the problem is not limited to this. perl(Date::Calc) is provided by both perl-Date-Calc and psad (from contrib) perl-Date-Calc from main autorequires perl(Bit::Vector) which is provided by wml, but it won't work anyway
for the perl-Date-Calc i built fixed RPMS which are available at http://percy.comedia.it/~bluca/cooker/perl
you need all three of perl-Date-Calc perl-Bit-Vector perl-Carp-Clan,
since Carp::Clan is used by both the other two, and I split it in its own
package
these should go into updates for 9.2!
i'd open a bug on bugzilla, but i do not have the time to check for all broken packages, urpmf '\.pm$' |grep -v -e '/usr/lib/perl5/' -e '/usr/share/doc' will give you an idea of packages that should be checked
regards, L.
