That's what the /usr/lib/rpm/perl.* are for, they're called by /usr/lib/rpm/find-(requires|provides)* at build time and are supposed to create the automagic perl(Foo::Bar) deps. perl.req for the Requires:, perl.prov for the Provides:. At least some RHL (or to be exact, rpm) versions shipped with perl.req non-executable in order to avoid creating bogus dependencies, I guess. That has been changed since. But perl.prov was executable in your case, so the problem is/was somewhere else. > Using the --provides switch in cpan2rpm and specifying the perl modules > that being provided did the trick. That's another, ok but brutal/manual, way to go :) -- \/
