[ this comes from the centos list, Ron was trying to install perl-SDL-2.1.3-2.el5.rf.i386 ]

    rpm.pbone has a file called Perl-Pod-ToDemo, but it won't install,
    saying it needs Perl5 files -- so I tried reinstalling Perl, but it
    didn't help.

    I'll keep Googling.


Got it. rpm.pbone.com <http://rpm.pbone.com> had a newer perl-Pod-ToDemo file then the one I had found earlier. I downloaded and installed that one and then "yum update" worked without issue.

Now I'm trying to figure out why the lack of a perl demo file would kill a perl update?

perl-SDL-2.1.3-2.el5.rf.i386 has a dependency on perl(Pod::ToDemo) written in its spec file, so that dep must be fulfilled to install perl-SDL... rpm doesn't care whether it's a dep on a "perl demo" or a crucial component ;-)

This is a packaging problem at rpmforge. If perl-SDL is available in the repo and perl-Pod-ToDemo is not in centos, rpmforge should have it.

Could someone at rpmforge try to build perl-Pod-ToDemo?
