Dear all, please forgive me if this is the wrong list to ask the question I'm going to ask but I'm new to obs and opensuse package building. As you can see in the log [1] I'm trying to build perl-Module-Load-Conditional on CentOS 5 but as perl 5.8.8 contains the same modules of perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker they conflicts. My question is: it's possibile to avoid perl-ExtUtils-MakeMakes installation? I tryed via condition in the spec file but without success. I took a look at src.rpms from epel and other CentOS repository but did not successed.
TIA Stefano
Is perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker a sub-package of perl that can be uninstalled? What does it "provide" that is causing it to be installed when perl is installed? If it can be uninstalled, you could make sure you have the same "provides" metadata and then use a conflict statement to ensure only one of the 2 is installed. Be advised that openSUSE does not much care for conflicts in specfiles, so it is not a desirable solution, but it may be an option you need to explore.
