I'd like to report a possible bug in the packaging of perl-Devel-StackTrace


It appears that a previous version of the package was posted with a filename:

perl-Devel-StackTrace-1.1902-1....rpm

The problem is, rpm will not see the new verison:

perl-Devel-StackTrace-1.21-1....rpm

as an upgrade to the previous versions (1902 comes way after 21, after all).


This will cause anything that depends on the updated version, such as perl-Exception-Class, to choke.

The work around is to manually uninstall and reinstall the package, but package managers (such as YUM) will still try to "upgrade" this package back to "1902", possibly breaking perl applications in production (like, Request Tracker for instance).
