I do: # Filter bogus provide for perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker::_version) (rpm 4.9 onwards) #global __provides_exclude ^perl\\(ExtUtils::MakeMaker::_version\\) I have both the old and new style filtering in place as one works in Fedora, the other in EPEL and they don't interfere with each other, so I can maintain the same spec everywhere. > PH> It's been there for a long time and it's quite common in perl > PH> module packages.

Just tried it now and replacing %define with %global worked in this case for both EPEL-5 and EPEL-6 builds. I'm sure I had some issues with this when I switched to %global initially so I'll get rid of the %defines as and when I do package updates and check carefully that I'm getting the expected results.
