All, I've been struggling to figure out a dependency issue with perl::IO::Compress. I have I think I finally understand it, but I want to ask before I branch perl itself and do a SR! In the D:L:P perl specfile it says: Provides: perl-Compress-Zlib perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib Obsoletes: perl-Compress-Zlib perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib Provides: perl-IO-Zlib perl-IO-Compress-Base perl-IO-Compress-Zlib Obsoletes: perl-IO-Zlib perl-IO-Compress-Base perl-IO-Compress-Zlib Note that all the component pieces of perl-IO-Compress are shown as provided, but the overall package itself is not in the list. That agrees with: http://perldoc.perl.org/index-modules-I.html. I have a package that has a requires perl(IO::Compress) and it is failing to install because of that. So my question is if the above list should have perl-IO-Compress added to it. Or should the requires statement in my package be changed to require all the component pieces of IO::Compress instead of just the overall package. To me updating the provides list seems right.
