Summary: rpmbuild generates perl provides/depends differently in F-10 than any prior level
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473874
Summary: rpmbuild generates perl provides/depends differently in F-10 than any prior level Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: urgent Priority: medium Component: rpm AssignedTo: pmatilai@redhat.com ReportedBy: cweyl@alumni.drew.edu QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: pmatilai@redhat.com, jnovy@redhat.com, fedora-perl-devel-list@redhat.com, ffesti@redhat.com Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
rpm in F10+ processes Perl depends/requires differently than in any prior level of Fedora.
e.g., see koji scratch builds of perl-Data-TreeDumper:
dist-f9: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=965620 dist-f10: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=965622 dist-f11: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=965644
Note dist-f9's list of provides/requires from the build.log:
Provides: perl(Data::TreeDumper) = 0.35 Requires: perl >= 0:5.006 perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.10.0) perl(Carp) perl(Check::ISA) perl(Class::ISA) perl(Exporter) perl(Sort::Naturally) perl(Text::Wrap) perl(strict) perl(warnings)
...and dist-f10, f11:
Provides: perl(Data::TreeDumper) = 0.35 perl(Potatoe) perl(SuperObject) perl(SuperObjectWithAutoload) perl(TiedArray) perl(TiedHandle) perl(TiedHash) perl(TiedScalar) perl(Vegetable) Requires: perl >= 0:5.006 perl(AutoLoader) perl(Carp) perl(Check::ISA) perl(Class::ISA) perl(Data::TreeDumper) perl(Devel::Peek) perl(Exporter) perl(Sort::Naturally) perl(Text::Wrap) perl(Tie::Array) perl(Tie::Handle) perl(Tie::Hash) perl(Tie::Scalar) perl(strict) perl(warnings)
Note the additional "provides" found under f10+ (e.g. perl(Potatoe)) are from scripts stored in %_docdir, without their executable bit set; also note the additional requires (e.g. perl(Tie::Array)) not present in the package built under dist-f9. This is a major change of behaviour from all versions prior to F-10, and may result in many of the nearly 1000 Perl packages in Fedora to start generating unexpected requires/provides when they're rebuilt.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.6.0-0.rc1.7
