Hi Matěj, I'm slightly confused by this. Parse::RPM::Spec doesn't do anything unusual during the installation process. It just uses the standard CPAN tools, so it should work exactly the same way as any other CPAN module. A few things to consider: * Is your CPAN toolchain up to date? * Have you changed the configuration of cpan? * Have you tried the same installation using cpanplus or cpanminus? * Do other CPAN modules install without problems? Let me know the answers to those questions and I'll do what I can to help. Cheers, Dave...

Fedora 15, bradford:~# rpm -q perl perl-CPAN perl-5.12.3-156.fc15.x86_64 perl-CPAN-1.9402-156.fc15.noarch Show quoted text

No, I did rm -rf ~/.cpan cpan 'Parse::RPM::Spec' Show quoted text

> * Have you tried the same installation using cpanplus or cpanminus?

No, I don't have them per default installed (I am not a great Perl guru). Show quoted text

> * Do other CPAN modules install without problems?

Yes. The problem seems to be in the last step of the installation when it tries to install manpages into /usr/local/share/man3, where (obviously) normal user doesn't have an access. Wouldn't it be possible somehow to soft-fail, so if normal user installs the module in ~/.cpan he would just didn't have manpages (oh well, perldoc still works)?

Hi, I'm reviewing all of my outstanding tickets before CPAN RT closes down early next year. It's been nine years since you raised this issue and I assume you've long moved on to other things. I can see no evidence of any of the CPAN Testers having similar problems with this module (see http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Parse-RPM-Spec) so I suspect it was some weird environmental glitch on your system at the time. On that basis, I'm going to close this ticket. If you think it's something that you'd like me to investigate further, then please open a new ticket at https://github.com/davorg/parse-rpm-spec/issues. Cheers, Dave...
