[X2Go-Dev] Bug#517: x2goServer does not correctly detect installed Perl module "Capture::tiny"

[Robert Maracle]

Package: x2goserver
Version: 4.0.1.15

When attempting to install x2goserver from RHEL5 Repo:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/RemoteDesktop:/x2go/RHEL_
5/, a depsolving problem is encountered for "missing"
perl(Capture::Tiny), despite the module actually being 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

Maybe a solution could be to check the existence of required files for
perl modules that may be installed via cpan, rather than for packages,
though it is likely doing so would cause even more trouble.
