Description Christopher Stone 2006-09-27 22:43:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
The mod_perl package includes a .pm file which has the line:
package perl(HTTP::Request::Common);
This is on line 46 of the Apache-Test/lib/Apache/TestRequest.pm file.
Because of this, rpm thinks this file is providing perl(HTTP::Request::Common).
 This is caused by the /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/perl.prov script file.

This causes a problem, because any perl package that Requires
perl(HTTP::Reqeust::Common) is going to pick up mod_perl instead of
perl-libwww-perl like it's supposed to.

Please remove this source line from the distribution or else somehow remove the
auto-provides of perl(HTTP::Request::Common) as this is casuing problems with
all perl packages that Require this module.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mod_perl-2.0.2-5.1

Patch to fix rpm auto-provides

This patch fixes the Provides for mod_perl to not provide
perl(HTTP::Request::Common).  Use -p0 to apply.
Comment 2 Christopher Stone 2006-09-27 23:00:37 UTC 
Another alternative fix would be to just add a

Requires: perl(HTTP::Request::Common)

to the spec file.
Comment 3 Joe Orton 2006-09-29 10:56:14 UTC 
Thanks for the report.  Or stripping Apache::Test from the mod_perl package per
bug 197841, that is probably the right solution.
Comment 4 Christopher Stone 2006-10-10 03:35:58 UTC 
Sounds good to me.
Comment 5 Christopher Stone 2006-10-14 23:28:24 UTC 
Marking as dupicate of 197841.
