Summary: suidperl segfaults when different version of perl/suidperl is installed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199514 jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |MODIFIED ------- Additional Comments From jvdias@xxxxxxxxxx 2006-07-25 19:34 EST ------- Aha, I see the problem - the perl-suidperl sub-package has always specified: 'Requires: perl = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release} ' But the perl main package has always specified: '# By definition of 'do' (see 'man perlfunc') this package provides all # versions of perl previous to it. Provides: perl <= %{epoch}:%{version} ' So any perl package Provides: all previous versions of perl, so RPM allows a previous version of perl to be installed when a later perl-suidperl version is installed. I guess the perl main package should specify something like: 'Provides: libperl = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release} ' and the perl-setuid sub-package should specify: 'Requires: libperl = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release} ' This fix is now in CVS and will go into the next release. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
