libdist-checkconflicts-perl 0.02-1 (i386 binary) in ubuntu trusty
One shortcoming of the CPAN clients that currently exist is that they have no
way of specifying conflicting downstream dependencies of modules.
Dist::
specify conflicting versions of modules separately, and deal with them after
the module is done installing.
.
For instance, say you have a module Foo, and some other module Bar uses Foo.
If Foo were to change its API in a non-backwards-
cause Bar to break until it is updated to use the new API. Foo can't just
depend on the fixed version of Bar, because this will cause a circular
dependency (because Bar is already depending on Foo), and this doesn't
express intent properly anyway - Foo doesn't use Bar at all. The ideal
solution would be for there to be a way to specify conflicting versions of
modules in a way that would let CPAN clients update conflicting modules
automatically after an existing module is upgraded, but until that happens,
this module will allow users to do this manually.
