I'm guessing I need to find the file that the function(?) that
perl(Pod::ToDemo) is found.
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 ;-)
You are correct that rpm does not care, however it is not written in its
SPEC file. This is one of the automatic dependencies and it is not as
trivial as it should be to filter out one or more automatic dependencies.
(The most simple solution is to remove whatever pulls the automatic
dependency, but that is not always desired either)
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?
I did it immediately when I noticed it, but I missed the daily sync-window
yesterday. However today it should be working fine:
[r...@moria ~]# apt-cache policy perl-Pod-ToDemo
perl-Pod-ToDemo:
Installed: 1.01-1.el5.rf
Candidate: 1.01-1.el5.rf
Version Table:
*** 1.01-1.el5.rf 0
500 http://apt.sw.be redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/
100 RPM Database
Can you verify that this indeed is fixed ?
Sorry for the troubles...
