Help please? How do I express a dependency on a Perl module not installed in a standard place within an RPM spec file?
11:16 a.m.
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.

Um. . .don't? Put the module in a package. Or, use a file Requires, but
I think it'll still look for it in the system Perl places.

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:
