Good call. This should be an explicit

Provides: perl(HTML::FormHandler::Field::Repeatable::Instance)

I must have copy/pasted the wrong line somehow. Update coming....

Yes. and I understand why. But rpmlint /doesn't/ complain about all the
automatically detected unversioned provides (this package has ~70). The
explicit provides are consistent with those automatically detected, and
necessary since other packages may depend on them. Versioning them would be a
lie since upstream hasn't given them explicit version (and where upstream has
versioned specific packages, the version numbers bear no relation to the
overall version of the distribution itself).


(And as an aside, thanks as ever for the reviews. I'm busy trying to update
cweyl's packages at the minute, but will try to return the favour).
