[Mageia-dev] "App-CPAN2Pkg keeps failing on already available packages" - https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=80418

Hi Jerome,
+
+I've been trying out CPAN2Pkg, and was dismayed by this bug:
+
+https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=80418
+
+"App-CPAN2Pkg keeps failing on already available packages (in the Mageia
+upstream).
+
+I did not get a reply to the previous bug I reported (which is of similar
+nature) in 3 months
+- https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=78510 .
+
+Now, I tried to find out what the problem with CPAN2Pkg and after a long
+investigation, I realised that check_upstream_availability() and
+_install_from_upstream_with_rpm_lock() are called only on the initial 
+$self->module->name() (which is object-wide) and not only on its prerequisites.
+That's not good - we should check each prerequisite as well. Can you look into
+fixing this? Otherwise, it makes cpan2pkg extremely frustrating to use.
+
+Regards,
