cpan2dist Infinite Recursive Dependencies, EU::MM & Encode & Carp & Test::Simple etc. #14
Description
I am unable to use cpan2dist for even simple cases, because it gets caught in a seemingly infinite loop of recursive dependencies between a relatively small set of core packages. Please help!
cpan2dist --format CPANPLUS::Dist::Fedora --verbose --keepsource --force --nobuildprereq ExtUtils::MakeMaker > ~/cpan2dist_fedora_eumm.log 2>&1
I let it run overnight and it generated a 44MB log file w/out ever getting anywhere, for obvious reasons I have NOT attached the huge log.
For example, if you search for the test name "662-tbt-no-plan.t" in the attached log file, you will see it appear 11 times. In the huge overnight log, this particular test was run 778 times!
There are a number of other errors as well, not sure if related...
