I'm packaging a CPAN module POE::Queue and my rpm
builds fine, but 'rpmlint -i
../RPMS/noarch/perl-POE-Queue-0.37-1.noarch.rpm' gives
the following errors:
E: perl-POE-Queue useless-explicit-provides
perl(POE::Kernel)
This package provides 2 times the same capacity. It
should only provide it
once.
E: perl-POE-Queue useless-explicit-provides
perl(POE::Loop::Tk)
This package provides 2 times the same capacity. It
should only provide it
once.
My .spec does not explicitly list the provides; I'm
relying on RPM to find them automatically.
I noticed that 'find ../BUILD/POE-0.37 -type f -exec
/usr/lib/rpm/perl.prov {} \; | sort | uniq' lists both
provides with and without a trailing number, as in:
<snip>
perl(POE::Kernel)
perl(POE::Kernel) = 2116
<snip>
perl(POE::Loop::Tk)
perl(POE::Loop::Tk) = 1980
<snip>
No other provide is listed twice, though some list
with trailing numbers (what do they mean?) and some
list without.
Are these errors important? What do I do to make them
go away?
TIA-
