            Bug ID: 894195
           Summary: duplicate directory ownership with perl-libs and perl
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 18
         Component: perl
          Severity: unspecified
          Priority: unspecified
          Reporter: misc(a)zarb.org

$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/perl5
perl-libs-5.16.2-235.fc18.x86_64

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.

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 )

Are you sure this is correct? I am not.

Actually I think it's a case where dual ownership is correct.

Well, technically there is nothing wrong with the
directory being owned by both
packages.

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.

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

Yes, your patch will fix it, but in Perl it's common to "double own
directory".
