Since 4:5.8.8-16.5.fc7, perl.rpm requires libperl.so, but does not provide it. perl-libs.rpm provides libperl.so, but does not require it. It seems that this setup can confuse yum.

Summary: yum breaks dependecies on upgrade (perl no-longer self-provides libperl.so) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=240540 ------- Additional Comments From gregory.douglas(a)sympatico.ca 2007-08-11 19:45 EST ------- (In reply to comment #22) My FC6 was updated just before migrating to FC7 a couple of weeks ago. Not certain exact yum versions in FC6, but yum was at the most recent FC6 version as of the end of July 2007. I did a network update to FC7, since I do not have a DVD drive. After the upgrade to FC7, I had to replace my old yum.conf and fedora-updates.repo to newer files with the extension "rpmnew". This opened the door to many new FC7 updates, but did not resolve the perl dependency problem. I also tried to remove perl and ignore dependencies (rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps perl) and then reinstall perl (yum install perl). But again, the dependencies were ignored. Therefore I just manually installed them after learning they were missing. Hope this helps. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Perhaps some other package provides libperl.so. In any case, the unversioned libperl.so provide is dangerous, so I'll add "Requires: perl-libs = %{version}-%{release}" to perl.spec; it shouldn't hurt and there are situations where it will help. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I want to remove it, but there are hundreds of dependencies, probably because of the libperl.so. I think that I will force a removal with the rpm and the nodeps option.
