Summary0001033: RPM dependency error with perl(Archive::Tar)
DescriptionErrors started to show up on our nightly builds:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
perl-Module-Install-0.92-1.el5.rf.noarch from installed has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: perl(Archive::Tar) >= 1.44 is needed by package perl-Module-Install-0.92-1.el5.rf.noarch (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Archive::Tar) >= 1.44 is needed by package perl-Module-Install-0.92-1.el5.rf.noarch (installed)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Looks upstream since we haven't changed anything.

Obviously DAG has updated perl-Module-Install but has forgotten to update its dependency perl-Archive-Tar...
:(

A temporary easy fix is to tell YUM to skip perl-Module-Install by adding the following line in /etc/yum.conf:
exclude=perl-Module-Install

Just noticed that our 64 bit nightly doesn't have this problem so I checked if perl-Module-Install is required / used by PacketFence and it's not.

So if you ever experience this problem, run:
# yum erase perl-Module-Install

Which will get rid of perl-Module-Install and perl-Test-Base both of which are not required by PacketFence (currently at least).

Ran smoke test suite and they all pass.
