            Bug ID: 1192824
           Summary: F20 PPC64 Perl: Now 5.18.2 but primary is now 5.18.4 -
                    updated noarch package deps prevent network installs
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 20
         Component: perl
          Severity: urgent

Description of problem: 
The last F20 ppc64 arch build of Perl is 5.18.2-289 by dwa on 2014-01-07. 
The last F21 ppc64 arch build is 5.18.4-305 by sharkcz on 2014-10-21.

Primary arch F20 Perl is 5.18.4 (-289 by jplesnik on 2014/10/03, -291 by ppisar
on 2014/10/30, and -292 by by jplesnik on 2015/02/13).

Recent F20 noarch package builds have requires for Perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.18.4:
- 4:perl-Pos-Usage-1.64-2.fc20.noarch 
- perl-DateTime-Timezone-1.76-1.fc20.noarch  
Last F21 ppc64 

These are required for network installation to begin, so essentially prevent
all new F20 ppc64 network installs since Anaconda doesn't seem to be respecting
the "don't use updates" flag.

Please do a perl 5.18.4-305 build for ppc64 to eliminate these and future
problems.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Current 5.18.2 
Need 5.18.4 to match primary arch.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot F20 netinst CD
2. Select any desktop (Gnome, Mate, XFCE)
3. Note broken dependency message 

Actual results:
Install begin button is inactive.  Can not begin install.

Expected results:
Active install begin button, allowing successful install.


Additional info:
See above.  Perl on primary arch promoted to 5.18-4, so any updates to noarch
perl packages after Feb 13th are likely to fail the same way.

Shades of Friday the 13th - it's my bad luck to be trying to set up F20 build
machines now, rather than last week 8^)
