Hi all,
Just a heads-up regarding the recent (07-Jul-2009) update of
perl-Devel-StackTrace to 1.21:
We're running a Request Tracker installation, and after the update from
perl-Exception-Class-1.24 to perl-Exception-Class-1.29 and a httpd
restart, it started logging the following error:
[Sun Jul 12 19:16:50 2009] [error] Devel::StackTrace version 1.2
required--this is only version 1.1902 at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Exception/Class/Base.pm line 9.\nBEGIN
failed--compilation aborted at
[snip]
This appears to be because yum and rpm read the version number "1.1902"
in perl-Devel-StackTrace-1.1902 as "one point one thousand nine hundred
two" (instead of reading it as the perlish way of writing "one point
nineteen oh-two"), and thus don't see perl-Devel-StackTrace-1.21 as an
update.

Preparing... ###########################################
[100%]
package perl-Devel-StackTrace-1.1902-1.el5.rf.noarch (which is
newer than perl-Devel-StackTrace-1.21-1.el5.rf.noarch) is already installed
After manually downloading and updating to perl-Devel-StackTrace-1.21
(with --oldpackage), perl-Exception-Class-1.29 is working fine.
There are probably other modules besides Exception::Class that require
"perl(Devel::StackTrace) >= 1.20" and will exhibit similar behavior.
