Details

Description: "perl-xml-parser" now replaces the old "perlxml", but lots of things still require "perlxml" (e.g., "perl-xml-twig" and "perl-xml-xpath"). Either change perl-xml-parser to provide perlxml or update all other packages that depend upon perlxml.


Additional info:
* perl-xml-parser 2.36-4
* missing dependency for perl-xml-twig : perlxml>=2.23
* missing dependency for perl-xml-xpath : perlxml>=2.23


Steps to reproduce:
* Update (e.g., via pacman -Syu) with existing packages that depend upon perlxml (e.g., "perl-xml-twig" or "perl-xml-xpath")
This task depends upon

assigned Kevin too, because we do not support versioned deps.

@ Francois
if you rebuild perl-xml-parser remember to rebuild both, [extra] and [testing] (I uploaded the last one built using perl 5.12)
[Answer from François: sorry, the PKGBUILD in trunk has the required provides and replaces array but I clearly overlooked that it was also in testing :( Thanks for fixing this!]

So is there a workaround? I'm not clear on what's necessary.

perl-xml-parser-2.36-5 provides perlxml.
