Whilst it's fine for a package to provide functionality different from its name, the problem here is that the package is saying it provides something that it doesn't, namely a perl module called "mixin". Pretending that it provides this package means that it's not possible for, at some future date, a new perl module of that name to be packaged properly without clashing with this one. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
