multiple packages provide perl(UNIVERSAL)?

[Chris Weyl]

So there I was, innocently packaging up SUPER (BZ205036), when I ran a
repoquery on one of its requires...

[root@zeus ~]# rpmquery --whatprovides 'perl(UNIVERSAL)'
perl-5.8.8-5
perl-UNIVERSAL-moniker-0.08-3.fc5
perl-UNIVERSAL-require-0.10-1.fc5
perl-UNIVERSAL-exports-0.05-1.fc5

Is it just me, or should the provides perl(UNIVERSAL) be filtered from
all packages except the base perl package?  (It's quite possibly just
me.)

Nope, you are right.

perl(UNIVERSAL) must only be provided by the package providing
UNIVERSAL.pm, i.e. the base perl package. All others are wrong in
providing perl(UNIVERSAL).

Thanks Ralf :)  I'll start filing bugs when I get a few minutes free...
