Svar: Re: 4.25-14 or 4.26.6 & SuSE 9.0: perl-Net-CIDR fails

Hi

I am trying to install mailscanner 4.26.8-1 on suse 9.0 and I get some "Failed build dependencies" 

Attempting to build and install perl-MIME-tools-5.411-pl4.2
Installing perl-MIME-tools-5.411-pl4.2.src.rpm
error: Failed build dependencies:
        perl >= 0:5.00503 is needed by perl-MIME-tools-5.411-pl4.2

My perl version is: 5.8.1

Where do I put:
BuildRequires: perl >= 0:5.5.3 or 0:5.8.1

It doesn't help to install perl-Net-CIDR manually, 
because the package doesn't build at all:
"ERROR: EMPTY FILE LIST"

On a system with SuSE 8.0 perl-Net-CIDR builds nicly.
I compared the output of rpmbuild at both systems and found
the underlying problem.

When calling rpmbuild with SuSE 9.0 this results in paths 
where BuildRoot occurs twice:
Installing /var/tmp/perl-Net-CIDR-root/var/tmp/perl-Net-CIDR-root/usr/share/man/man3/Net::CIDR.3pm

perl-Net-CIDR.spec defines BuildRoot as
%{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root

The first occurence comes from
        perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_prefix}

It appears twice, because SuSE defines it's own version
of the rpm macro %makeinstall in /usr/lib/rpm/suse_macros:
%makeinstall            make DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install

The problem didn't occur with SuSE 8.0, 
because it uses an older version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker, 
where the resuting Makefile is ignoring it's parameter 
"DESTDIR" and hence (accidently) successfully creates the package.

A possible solution would be to call "make install" directly
instead of "%makeinstall" in perl-Net-CIDR.spec.

This would solve the problem for SuSE.
It shouldn't hurt for other rpm based distributions,
because the standard definition of %makeinstall effectivly calls
"make install" with many paramters defining prefixes and directories.
But these are useless, because PREFIX is already set 
when processing Makefile.PL.

I still need --nodeps to build this package.
If I change "BuildRequires" to
BuildRequires: perl >= 0:5.5.3
it works fine for SuSE 8.0 and 9.0 without using --nodeps.

Try just installing the Net-CIDR module with something like
rpm -Uvh --nodeps perl-Net-CIDR*
and then run ./install.sh.
