I have a package that has a requires perl(IO::Compress) and it is failing to install because of that.

I can't find a "IO::Compress" module on CPAN, so I don't think the requires can be correct.

There's a IO::Compress module: http://search.cpan.org/dist/IO-Compress/

we have it in OBS as perl-IO-Compress

perl-IO-Compress does *not* provide perl(IO::Compress), just all the IO::Compress::XXX flavors. And it's nowadays part of core perl.

M.

As a test I've updated my package in my home dir to not Require IO::Compress, but instead to have Requires on all the flavors.

If that causes all of the component modules to be installed individually, then there are missing Provides statements in perl itself since it is supposed to have all the flavors built-in.

It may be tomorrow before I get a chance to test.

Actually with no perl-IO-Compress-* packages installed I just did a test install and it worked with these Requires lines: Requires: perl(IO::Compress::Base) Requires: perl(IO::Compress::Bzip2) perl(IO::Compress::Deflate) Requires: perl(IO::Compress::Gzip) perl(IO::Compress::RawDeflate) perl(IO::Compress::Zip) So the base perl module is indeed Providing all the above automatically. (They are not all in the perl specfile explicitly). Sorry to take up so much time with my confusion.
