Bug #32158 for Test-Class: Over-zealous prerequisites?

severity 459738 minor found 459738 0.26-1 notfound 459738 0.27-1 tags 459738 + upstream thanks (the first lines are directed to Debian's bug tracking system, please disregard them) I am one of the maintainers for your module in Debian. Your module declares the following dependency information (from META.yml): requires: Attribute::Handlers: 0.77 Class::ISA: 0.32 Devel::Symdump: 2.03 IO::File: 1.14 Storable: 2.04 Test::Builder: 0.7 Test::Builder::Tester: 1.07 Test::Exception: 0.25 Test::More: 0.7 Test::Simple: 0.7 perl: 5.6.1 Now, several of the required modules are at a higher version than what's currently available in Debian, so the module _does_ build - please refer to the attached build log, specially at: Checking prerequisites... - ERROR: Test::More (0.62) is installed, but we need version >= 0.7 - ERROR: IO::File (1.13) is installed, but we need version >= 1.14 - ERROR: Test::Builder (0.32) is installed, but we need version >= 0.7 - ERROR: Test::Simple (0.62) is installed, but we need version >= 0.7 - ERROR: Test::Builder::Tester (1.02) is installed, but we need version Show quoted text
_But_ ./Build test _does_ pass all of the tests - so I guess the prerequisites are based on what you currently have in your system. It strikes me, though, that ./Build.PL complains - but does not return failure! (our package building system is essentialy based on a Makefile, so it should abort the build if such an error happens) I guess this last comment should be directed at the Module::Build maintainers, anyway... Ok, so - Hynek (the original bug submitter): I just uploaded 0.27-1, which is no longer empty (something went wrong in the 0.26 build, sorry); please check again to see if this bug still present - or if it can be closed.
