strange - obviously seems related to the filtering of provides we do in the
%prep section, starting around line 283:


# Oh, the irony. Perl generates some non-versioned provides we don't need.
# Each of these has a versioned provide, which we keep.
cat << \EOF > %{name}-prov
#!/bin/sh
%{__perl_provides} $* |\
    sed -e '/^perl(Carp)$/d' |\
    sed -e '/^perl(DynaLoader)$/d' |\
    sed -e '/^perl(Locale::Maketext)$/d' |\
    sed -e '/^perl(Math::BigInt)$/d' |\
    sed -e '/^perl(Net::Config)$/d' |\
    sed -e '/^perl(Tie::Hash)$/d' |\
    sed -e '/^perl(bigint)$/d' |\
    sed -e '/^perl(bigrat)$/d' |\
    sed -e '/^perl(bytes)$/d' |\
    sed -e '/^perl(utf8)$/d'
EOF
%define __perl_provides %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/%{name}-prov
chmod +x %{__perl_provides}


---------------

This is the standard method of filtering provides:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Perl

And I can't see why %{name} would be perl-devel instead of 'perl' - I thought
%{name} was always the name of the source rpm.

I also can't reproduce this here - can you send me your commandline and maybe
~/.rpmmacros ?
