143251 - RFE: checksetup.pl should report module version in error message

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Administration, task, P3)

Description

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

When checksetup.pl reports that a required module is missing from the system, 
it should preferrably also report the minimum required version of that module. 
For example, I have Template-Toolkit installed on my system yet when I ran 
checksetup.pl it merely said that I need to install the Template-Toolkit which 
in my mind I already have. Except mine was 2.06 and it was looking for 2.07. 
Currently it only maintains a array called @missing which contains module 
names of missing modules. We would need to change this to also maintain a list 
of versions also mapped to the proper module. So we could change @missing to 
%missing with the module name as the key and the version as the value. I will 
make a patch and attach to this report.

This is a good thing to have for 2.16 especially in light of the TT2 version.

Let's get it checked in (we're just in time for RC, which is happening later
tonight).  We already branched, check it in both on the trunk and on
BUGZILLA-2_16-BRANCH please.
