[scmbug-users] Scmbug error 79: Package 'Bugzilla' not foundin installation

[Kristis Makris]

Hello Bugzilla Developers,

We are experiencing a problem with Scmbug when Scmbug attempts to reuse
the Bugzilla 3.0.3 API. It seems that checking for presence of the
"Bugzilla.pm" package fails.

The full thread of this discussion is at:

http://lists.mkgnu.net/pipermail/scmbug-users/2008-February/001777.html

John confirmed that this isn't due to a permissions error. His
environment is:

scmbug 0-23-4
bugzilla 3.0 and bugzilla 3.0.3
OS: Solaris 8
Perl 5.8.8
MySQL 5.0

My question to the Bugzilla developers is has a similar issue (I'm
inclined to attribute this to Solaris) been reported before by people
trying to use the Bugzilla API ?

Incidentally, the code Scmbug uses to check for the presence of a
package was copy-pasted from checksetup.pl:have_vers() from Bugzilla
2.20, which now seems to have been moved in Bugzilla 3.0 in
Bugzilla/Install/Requirements.pm. Do you know if there are any issues
related to have_vers on Solaris ?
