Hello,
Again, I am not sure to understand:
cpanspec --add-buildrequires perl-generators Tk-JBrowseEntry-5.22.tar.gz
only add: BuildRequires: perl-generators in the .spec file
which does not help.
It helps with automatic creation of Perl Module dependency metadata in the built packages. It does not add any Provides/Requires to the spec file, because that would be the wrong thing to do.
Maybe, however, some perl packages require packages with a version number higher than a certain value. Thus, if the Provides/Requires instructions are not set properly, all the packages requiring other packages fail, either at the build or installation step. In my opinion, all the perl packages need to be checked to go through the distribution without requiring to use capnspec by the final user.
