Of course it does. But, a specific perl version? It didn't previously. Why?
gfxboot did previously (in 12.3) require a specific perl version (5.16.2). Must be a not too intelligent macros.perl that does the autorequires. Whenever a package X has something in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.2, it will only be usable with version 5.16.2, because 5.18 won't look in there. That in itself is a bit annoying, and I wish perl would be smarter about it. |x \%Config 'installarchlib' => '/usr/lib/perl5/5.16.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi' 'installprivlib' => '/usr/lib/perl5/5.16.2' 'installsitearch' => '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi' 'installsitelib' => '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.2' 'installvendorarch' => '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi' 'installvendorlib' => '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.2' 'otherlibdirs' => '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl' In other words, the non-versioned dir is SUSE-specific (see perl.spec) and not even up for discussion from perl's (and ExtUtils::install's) perspective. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
