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)
thanks for the info, I didn't know about these automatic deps.
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 ?
I can confirm that perl-SDL-2.1.3-2.el5.rf.x86_64 installs now here,
pulling in perl-Pod-ToDemo-1.01-1.el5.rf.noarch .
Ray, could you see if it's fixed for you?
You might "rpm -e perl-SDL perl-Pod-ToDemo" then "yum install perl-SDL",
which should work now. This should replace whatever package version you
picked up on rpm.pbone with the new rpmforge perl-Pod-ToDemo.
