Thank you for these details. However 1) I expect that I would have to edit the .spec file 2) After that I install the package perl-Tk-JBrowseEntry-5.22-1.fc30.noarch I generate a perl-Tk-JFileDialog.spec which contains: BuildRequires: perl(Tk::JBrowseEntry) >= 4.63 Why that? When I want to install perl-Tk-JFileDialog-2.20-1.fc30.noarch.rpm I get Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides perl(Tk::JBrowseEntry) >= 4.63 needed by perl-Tk-JFileDialog-2.20-1.fc30.noarch (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages) The solutions that I found are: 1) add Provides: perl(Tk::JBrowseEntry) = %{version}-%{release} in perl-Tk-JBrowseEntry.spec or 2) remove BuildRequires: perl(Tk::JBrowseEntry) >= 4.63 in perl-Tk-JFileDialog.spec In my opinion, I should not have to edit the .spec files =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre@xxxxxxx Laboratoire interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne 9 Avenue Alain Savary, BP 47870, 21078 DIJON Cedex FRANCE Tel: +33 (0)380395988 =========================================================================== > Sent: Friday, June 14, 2019 at 7:06 PM > From: "Gordon Messmer" <gordon.messmer@xxxxxxxxx> > To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: rpmbuild > > On 6/12/19 1:43 PM, Patrick Dupre wrote: > > cpanspec --add-buildrequires perl-generators Tk-JBrowseEntry-5.22.tar.gz > > > > only add: > > BuildRequires: perl-generators > > in the .spec file > > > > which does not help. > > > Sure, it does.
