There are just *alternative versions* available in a module: https://src.fedoraproject.org/modules/perl that module has no default stream, which means that if you just install Fedora and do 'dnf install perl' (or do anything else which causes a perl package to get installed) you'll get the non-modular package. You'll only get a modular package if you explicitly enable the module. As Petr points out, what's happening here is DNF is noticing that a package in one of the module streams satisfies the missing dependency, but that package is 'excluded' (because that module stream is not enabled). And as he also points out, DNF could stand to explain this much more clearly. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
