Subject: CPAN reports wrong version for current PatchReader
I previously had PatchReader 0.9.2 on my system. I used CPAN to attempt to upgrade, because I was installing a newer version of Bugzilla which required 0.9.3 or later of PatchReader. CPAN told me PatchReader was up to date. Examining the CPAN metadata, it appears that CPAN thinks the current version is 0.9 rather than 0.9.5, so it thought my installed version was newer than what's on CPAN, even though the filename suggests the version on CPAN is 0.9.5. Doing a "force install PatchReader" correctly pulling in 0.9.5. Package information before the "force install": Show quoted text

Hi, Does this still happen for you? It seems that information should now be correct (except v0.9.6 is still not shown): Show quoted text

Looks to be working now, please reopen if you can still reproduce. This might have also just been a CPAN cache/mirror problem.
