[suggest] possible bug in packaging perl-WWW-Mechanize

2009-10-16 Thread Marc DeTrano
On a CentOS 5.3 system, if I update the WWW::Mechanize perl with the 
latest package from rpmforge, 
perl-WWW-Mechanize-1.56-1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm, and then try to use it, I 
get this error:


LWP::UserAgent version 5.827 required--this is only version 2.033 at 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 106


On this distro, the LWP::UserAgent module comes from the 
perl-libwww-perl package, from the CentOS base repository.


My work around for the time being is to force install of an older version:

yum install perl-WWW-Mechanize-1.34

However, any general update will attempt to upgrade that older version 
(and break my perl using that module).

that is indeed the issue :)

a similar situation has recently been discussed over here:
