Hello,
I recently installed a fresh copy of Tumbleweed and tried to compile a TeX
document that contains a bibliography, for which I need to use the
`texlive-biber` package. Apparently, after some investigation I found out
that the new version of this package now requires the `perl-File-Slurper`
package to function properly - even trying to determine the package version
from the command line fails because the package can't be found.
How can I inform the package maintainer that the new dependency needs to be
added?
perl-File-Slurper is available in OSS
Information for package perl-File-Slurper:
  ------------------------------------------
  Repository     : openSUSE-Tumbleweed OSS
  Name           : perl-File-Slurper
  Version        : 0.012-1.2
  Arch           : noarch
  Vendor         : openSUSE
  Installed Size : 28.6 KiB
  Installed      : No
  Status         : not installed
  Source package : perl-File-Slurper-0.012-1.2.src
  Summary        : Simple, Sane and Efficient Module to Slurp a File
  Description    :
      This module provides functions for fast and correct slurping and
      spewing.  All functions are optionally exported.  All functions
      throw exceptions on errors, write functions don't return any
      meaningful value.
Hmmm ... AFAICR the package texlive-biber requires texlive-biber-bin and
the last one requires perl(Biber) which is package perl-biber with the
following dependencies:
perl(Sort::Key)
    perl(Text::Roman)
    perl(Unicode::Collate)
    perl(Data::Uniqid)
    perl(DateTime)
    perl(DateTime::Calendar::Julian)
    perl(Text::BibTeX)
    perl(LWP::Protocol::https)
    perl(LWP::Simple)
    perl(Log::Log4perl)
    perl(Unicode::GCString)
    perl(Business::ISMN)
    perl(Business::ISSN)
    perl(Class::Accessor)
    perl(Data::Compare)
    perl(Data::Dump)
    perl(Date::Simple)
    perl(DateTime::Format::Builder)
    perl(Encode::EUCJPASCII)
    perl(Encode::HanExtra)
    perl(Encode::JIS2K)
    perl(IPC::Cmd)
    perl(IPC::Run3)
    perl(List::AllUtils)
    perl(List::MoreUtils)
    perl(Regexp::Common)
    perl(Text::CSV)
    perl(XML::LibXML::Simple)
    perl(XML::LibXSLT)
    perl(autovivification)
    perl(Business::ISBN)
    perl(DateTime::TimeZone)
    perl(File::Slurp)
    perl(URI)
    perl(XML::Writer)
I'll add
perl(File::Slurp::Unicode)
    perl(File::Slurper)
