#5167 PERL dependency not recognized after it is installed

[James M. Moe]

opensuse LEAP 15.0
linux 4.12.14-lp150.12.4-default x86_64
perl v5.26.1

$ rpm -i webmin-1.890-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
perl(Encode::Detect) is needed by webmin-1.890-1.noarch

$ cpan Encode::Detect
... blah blah blah ...
Encode::Detect is up to date (1.01).

$ rpm -i webmin-1.890-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
perl(Encode::Detect) is needed by webmin-1.890-1.noarch

I suspect that Encode::Detect is not the real culprit here.

Can you try installing Encode::Detect from an RPM package using whatever command SuSE has for this?

perl v5.26.1
Here is the result

$ zypper install

Problem: nothing provides perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.18.2) needed by
perl-Encode-Detect-1.01-24.11.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install perl-Encode-Detect-1.01-24.11.x86_64
Solution 2: break perl-Encode-Detect-1.01-24.11.x86_64 by ignoring some
of its dependencies

Nothing to do.

I am rather confused. When Encode::Detect is installed with cpan,
there is no problem. The RPM installation expects an earlier version of
PERL, and fails.

Maybe package version mismatch?

Yes, my mistake. I had downloaded the 42.3 version rather than the
15.0. After installing the correct module, the webmin installation
succeeded.
Thank you.
