These efforts to avoid a circular dependency between Pod::Parser and
Pod::Usage don't actually work because ExtUtils::MakeMaker requires
perl-podlators, which requires Pod::Usage, so it's pulled in anyway.
There are a number of dual-lived packages for which circular
dependencies seem to be quite unavoidable and need special treatment
when bootstrapping, e.g.:
ExtUtils::MakeMaker needs config.h from perl-devel, which requires
ExtUtils::MakeMaker
ExtUtils::Manifest needs ExtUtils::MakeMaker, which needs ExtUtils::Manifest
perl-podlators needs ExtUtils::MakeMaker, which needs Pod::Man
(perl-podlators)
Pod::Usage buildrequires ExtUtils::MakeMaker, which requires
perl-podlators, which requires Pod::Usage
Pod::Select (perl-Pod-Parser) is required by perl-Pod-Usage; see above
perl-Pod-Perldoc is explicitly required by perl-Pod-Usage; see above
perl(parent) is required by perl-Pod-Perldoc; see above
I think there are similar issues with perl-Test-Simple,
perl-Data-Dumper, perl-Digest and perl-Digest-SHA, but I haven't looked
at them properly yet.
Paul.
