| Subject: | Dependency on DB_file |
Hi DDUMONT,
My (second) attempt to install Config-Model failed in an unusual way. It
has DB_file as a prerequisite and when 'cpan' attempted to install that,
this failed due to a missing C header file, db.h. 'cpan' proceeded to
install all other prerequisites and, with a warning, ran the Config-
Model test suite, which passed. (!) Thus CPAN::Reporter sent you a PASS
report:
....
All tests successful.
Files=54, Tests=1711, 60 wallclock secs ( 0.54 usr 0.07 sys + 48.85
cusr 2.39 csys = 51.85 CPU)
Result: PASS
(./Build test exited with 0)
CPAN::Reporter: Test result is 'pass', All tests successful.
CPAN::Reporter: preparing a CPAN Testers report for Config-Model-1.265

Tests succeeded but one dependency not OK (DB_File)

[dependencies] -- NA
Running Build install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
Failed during this command:

DDUMONT/Config-Model-1.265.tar.gz : make_test NO one
dependency not OK (DB_File)
I suggest that if Config-Model truly requires DB_file, you may want to
write a test that exercises whatever functionality Config-Model takes
from it. Conversely, if DB_file is optional, perhaps this could be moved
to 'recommends'.
