CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-UnsatPrereq-1.00.tar.gz



Subject: Endless loops with prereq resolution
If a distribution list another module as a PREREQ_PM with a higher version than available on CPAN, then CPAN.pm gets into an endless loop. Try the attached distribution to see the effect (just extract the distribution and try "cpan -t ."). The problem was spotted multiple times, last with the CPANPLUS-0.83_08 distribution requiring File::Fetch 0.13_02, which of course is not in the CPAN index because it's a development release.
Subject: CPAN-Test-Dummy-Perl5-Make-UnsatPrereq-1.00.tar.gz

Message body not shown because it is not plain text.

Please try 1.92_51 which I just release. Seems to fix the bug for me.

Dear Andreas J. König, Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. I confirmed this issue, and this is not fixed yet in CPAN-1.92_60. You can try testing AARONJJ/Class-DBI-Plugin-FilterOnClick-1.1.tar.gz. AARONJJ/Class-DBI-Plugin-FilterOnClick-1.1.tar.gz requires Class::DBI::Pager version > 1, where there is only Class::DBI::Pager 0.08 on CPAN. The terminal log is attached below. Hope that this helps. Please tell me if you need any more information, or if I could be of any help.

Thank you for this bugreport, it helped me definitively to chase this long standing bug. Should now be fixed in 1.92_61.
