--- Comment #24 from Iain Arnell iarnell@gmail.com 2011-08-15 23:16:16 EDT --- Dennis, we only want to install one of these. Effectively, perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib has two separate upstreams: perl and cpan. Sometimes perl has the latest version, and sometimes cpan. We simply want to be able to have the latest package available in fedora without having to continually block/unblock this package - the history here shows how troublesome that was to do just once. We've had several dual-life packages for over a year now and things are working exactly as we expect them to on our end.
And we're unlikely to run into duplicate nvras since we're already stuck with ever increasing release numbers in the perl package.
