Increasing severity since anyone using the web admin to do management will experience problems.

Fixed temporarily the issue by seting the version to 1.94 in packetfence.spec.
This will stabilize v1.8.5.

fixed in revision c891b969c76b5c2d7c2ff3128bb7e9bd1bdfcbea

The fix was wrong. RecDescent is needed as a build dependency also. I pinned both requirement to 1.94.

Fixed in monotone at rev: 4153b5c682de89bb8b48a3395a6e90d974a1c4a2

We'll test during the 1.9.x window and report upstream if still broken but no time right now.

doing a yum update will fetch the latest Parse::RecDescent it would seem, our rpm spec doesn't pin down a specific version..

increasing priority to get this fixed quickly

Fixed in the RPM spec by avoiding what seems to be a Require: bug with perl dependencies.

Mtn revision: 4520915c38a648ad954e8e2953fb53c0df0892c6

pushed new RPMs 1.8.5-2 to our yum repo

By the way, here is what a failed update attempt will look like:

[root@localhost pf]# yum update perl-Parse-RecDescent

 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

To avoid updating perl-Parse-RecDescent:

yum update --exclude=perl-Parse-RecDescent
