I am having difficulty understanding how bugzilla's perl(CGI) requirement is
processed:
bash-4.1$ rpm --requires -qp bugzilla-3.4.10-1.fc13.noarch.rpm | fgrep 'perl(CGI)'
perl(CGI)
perl(CGI)>= 3.33
Looking at the installed rpms on my system, I see that perl(CGI) is provided,
but with no version number:
bash-4.1$ rpm --provides -qa | fgrep 'perl(CGI)'
perl(CGI)
This comes from the perl rpm:
bash-4.1$ rpm -q --whatprovides 'perl(CGI)'
perl-5.10.1-120.fc13.x86_64
Can somebody please explain why bugzilla installs without perl-CGI?
Sure!
A Provides or Requires without version number matches any version
number. So the perl package already provides everything that the
bugzilla package needs and there is no reason to pull in perl-CGI from a
Provides: / Requires: POV. Do you encounter any problems running
bugzilla or is this just out of curiosity?
