I think the real issue is this line from the perl specfile:
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 the absence of perl-IO-Compress. I can branch perl in OBS and add perl-IO-Compress easily enough, but I don't think I know enough about perl to test it outside of the one package I'm testing that uses it.
Greg,
I believe *you are in a pit. Please stop digging it deeper!*
IO::Zlib and IO::Compress::Base are core modules since Perl 5.10.0. They should be in the core perl package and indeed when I ask on an 11.2 system, YaST tells me IO::Zlib is part of the standard package 'perl'.
What happens if you just run the application?
So there should be absolutely no need to install these packages from a separate source. Which suggests that the package hasn't been properly prepared and perhaps similarly for whatever this application is. Have they been updated since 11.1?
Cheers, Dave
Thanks Dave, I'm trying to package up something new. The release notes I think said it needed IO::Compress, so I possibly naively just put it in the specfile as a Requires. So I'm digging deep so I get it right. Then I will push it to factory eventually.
