Hi,
Situation I have is this:
(a) I have a bunch of perl scripts that use a perl module (say Foo) that
is not installed on the “package build machine”
(b) On the target machine, the FOO module was “hand installed” in
antiquity in /opt/foo
In the perl scripts, I have:
Use lib qw{/opt/foo/lib};
Use Foo::Bar;
SO – I can build the package fine but when I try to install it, I get
the messages:
error: Failed dependencies:
perl(Foo::Bar) is needed by some-package-1.1.1-1.noarch
Any ideas, please, how I can “teach” the spec file that the required
perl module lives in a certain place on the target machine?
Thanks!
Richard.
Why don't you just create a perl-Foo package to properly package the module?
If there's some really really good reason why you can't do that, you can
fix the requires:

On recent Fedoras you can also use this scheme:
