When I wrote this I was struggling with another module, which I forgot
for now, but will dig out again.
Right now I have one at hand, which shows the same problem:
The (soon to be released) version 2.0 of svk requires File::Spec >= 3.14,
fc4's perl-5.8.6-24 bundles 3.01.
I used cpanspec to build a perl-PathTools-3.17.rpm, which indeed
provides perl(File::Spec) = 3.17.
But installing fails due to the overlapping man pages:
file /usr/share/man/man3/Cwd.3pm.gz from install of
perl-PathTools-3.17-1.fc4 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.6-24
file /usr/share/man/man3/File::Spec.3pm.gz from install of
perl-PathTools-3.17-1.fc4 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.6-24
... and so on for other File::Spec::* manpages.
Iirc, the other package I was talking about showed the same problem: The
modules themselves install fine under vendor_perl, but the manpages
conflict.
Any Ideas?
thanks,
