Bug ID: 894195 Summary: duplicate directory ownership with perl-libs and perl Product: Fedora Version: 18 Component: perl Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Reporter: misc@zarb.org
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/perl5 perl-libs-5.16.2-235.fc18.x86_64 perl-5.16.2-235.fc18.x86_64
I guess it only belong to perl-libs

--- Comment #1 from Petr Pisar ppisar@redhat.com --- It should, but currently `perl' package contains a lot files residing in the directory. This will be fixed once `perl' package will own no files there.

--- Comment #2 from Michael Scherer misc@zarb.org --- Well, perl requires perl-libs, so the directory would not be unowned in any case ? ( and sorry to have waited to enter this bug, as you have already pushed a update for another issue )

Well, perl requires perl-libs, so the directory would not be unowned in any case ?
Are you sure this is correct? I am not.
Actually I think it's a case where dual ownership is correct.
( and sorry to have waited to enter this bug, as you have already pushed a update for another issue )
Well, technically there is nothing wrong with the directory being owned by both packages.

From my chroot :
# rpm -q --requires perl | grep libs perl-libs perl-libs = 4:5.16.2-244.fc19

From my chroot :
# rpm -q --requires perl | grep libs perl-libs perl-libs = 4:5.16.2-244.fc19
And your point is?
* Multiple owners of directories are allowed and do work. * This dependency is manually added. Whether is it's technically necessary is to be analyzed.

--- Comment #6 from Michael Scherer misc@zarb.org --- Created attachment 677016 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=677016&action=edit patch to make the directory owned only by perl-libs
Being allowed is not the point, this is just not necessary.
I am trying to write a tool to detect such issues ( double owned directy, unowned one ), because there is case where it break, when the permission are different and no one , see #894369 . The less noise we have, the better it will be for long term maintenance.
So as long as this doesn't bring anything, except noise when searching for issues, I think this should be corrected.
The dependency is likely needed to have the exact EVR between perl and perl-libs.
here is a patch that should clean the package

--- Comment #7 from Marcela Mašláňová mmaslano@redhat.com --- Yes, your patch will fix it, but in Perl it's common to "double own directory".
