When setting up rpm spec file Requires or BuildRequires stanzas for perl modules which require something, you should use that same syntax, rather than a package name. Ex: Requires: perl(Net::LDAP) You can specify a version using that syntax as well: Requires: perl(Net::LDAP) >= 0.40 I think this also allows the required module to be installed via rpm or via a manual install, and the system will go figure it out, but I'm not certain of that. Fedora RPM guidelines also mention use of perl(Foo) for requires and provides: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl#Perl_Requires_and_Provides HTH, -- Josh I. --000000000000b039130584a438af Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr"><div di= r=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr">On Thu, Mar 21, 2019 at 8:16 PM Nomalatha Aeramp= u <<a href=3D"mailto:[email protected]">anomalatha@pulsesecure.= net</a>> wrote:<br></div><div class=3D"gmail_quote"><blockquote class=3D= "gmail_quote" style=3D"margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(2= 04,204,204);padding-left:1ex"> <div dir=3D"ltr"> <div id=3D"gmail-m_8863870652701455273divtagdefaultwrapper" style=3D"font-s= ize:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif" dir=3D"= ltr"> <p style=3D"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">Hi Team,</p> <p style=3D"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><br> </p> <p style=3D"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">Our application is packaged a= s RPM and qualified to run in both RHEL and SUSE platforms.=C2=A0<span styl= e=3D"font-size:12pt">It has a dependency for perl LDAP module and hence in = our application RPM spec file we specify perl-LDAP in "Requires" section since the earlier SUSE and RHEL releases w= e had it as follows,</span></p> <p style=3D"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style=3D"font-size:12pt= "><span style=3D"font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,EmojiFont,"A= pple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Sego= e UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols;font-size:16px">pe= rl-LDAP-0.40-2.el6.noarch</span><br> </span></p> <p style=3D"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><br> </p> <p style=3D"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">In the recent days, while we = are qualifying our application for SUSE15 platform, we see that perl LDAP m= odule is available in the following naming convention due to which our &quo= t;Requires" section is failing,</p> <p style=3D"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"></p> <div>perl-ldap-0.65-bp150.2.4.x86_64</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Even in the following link we see 2 naming (upper case and lower case = LDAP)</div> <div><a href=3D"https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=3Dperl(= Net%3A%3ALDAP)" class=3D"gmail-m_8863870652701455273OWAAutoLink" id=3D"gmai= l-m_8863870652701455273LPlnk666010" target=3D"_blank">https://rpmfind.net/l= inux/rpm2html/search.php?query=3Dperl(Net%3A%3ALDAP)</a> <div id=3D"gmail-m_8863870652701455273LPBorder_GT_15530072178710.6929415623= 676389" style=3D"margin-bottom:20px;overflow:auto;width:100%;text-indent:0p= x"> <table id=3D"gmail-m_8863870652701455273LPContainer_15530072178580.90851443= 78125947" cellspacing=3D"0" style=3D"width:90%;background-color:rgb(255,255= ,255);overflow:auto;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;margin-top:20px;bo= rder-top:1px dotted rgb(200,200,200);border-bottom:1px dotted rgb(200,200,2= 00)"> <tbody> <tr valign=3D"top" style=3D"border-spacing:0px"> <td id=3D"gmail-m_8863870652701455273TextCell_15530072178620.09295312553898= 838" colspan=3D"2" style=3D"vertical-align:top;padding:0px;display:table-ce= ll"> <div id=3D"gmail-m_8863870652701455273LPRemovePreviewContainer_155300721786= 30.2766827016811426"></div> <div id=3D"gmail-m_8863870652701455273LPTitle_15530072178630.82591885441826= 38" style=3D"color:rgb(92,185,71);font-weight:400;font-size:21px;font-famil= y:wf_segoe-ui_light,"Segoe UI Light","Segoe WP Light",&= quot;Segoe UI","Segoe WP",Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif;line-heigh= t:21px"> <a id=3D"gmail-m_8863870652701455273LPUrlAnchor_15530072178650.830999166253= 2645" href=3D"https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=3Dperl(Ne= t%3A%3ALDAP)" style=3D"text-decoration:none" target=3D"_blank">RPM resource= perl(Net::LDAP)</a></div> <div id=3D"gmail-m_8863870652701455273LPMetadata_15530072178660.52399545999= 58689" style=3D"margin:10px 0px 16px;color:rgb(102,102,102);font-weight:400= ;font-family:wf_segoe-ui_normal,"Segoe UI","Segoe WP",T= ahoma,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:14px"> <a href=3D"http://rpmfind.net" target=3D"_blank">rpmfind.net</a></div> <div id=3D"gmail-m_8863870652701455273LPDescription_15530072178680.08380845= 558096706" style=3D"display:block;color:rgb(102,102,102);font-weight:400;fo= nt-family:wf_segoe-ui_normal,"Segoe UI","Segoe WP",Taho= ma,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;max-height:100px;overfl= ow:hidden"> The search service can find package by either name (apache), provides(webse= rver), absolute file names (/usr/bin/apache), binaries (gprof) or shared li= braries (libXm ...</div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table><br></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That r= pmfind search is a major hint.
