Wow, as a Fedora packager that can sign in using my FAS account, I never get to see those, thank goodness! (In reply to Brian J.

See attached. I think upstream have had problems where people have updated the underlying libraries without rebuilding the modules, and this sometimes leads to obscure and hard to diagnose problems. So they (upstream) added this check to make it obvious when this had happened, even if it's not always a problem. The strict package version dependency ensures that as a downstream RPM user, you see this prior to installing an update that would break things, and have the option to skip the affected updates, uninstall a package, report a bug (as this time) or whatever fits your needs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to perl-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
