967497 - Bugzilla installation rejects DBI perl module v1.63 as being below v1.614

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 938300

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect)

Description

[jackg]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/32.0.1700.107 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Ran checksetup.pl as part of the process of Bugzilla installation, with version 1.630 / 1.63 of DBI installed.

NB: The DBI version is given as 1.630 on the downloads page of http://dbi.perl.org/ and in my package manager, however DBI->VERSION returns '1.63'. Some other perl modules have versioning like this, and workarounds exist in the file Bugzilla/Install/Requirements.pm. For example 

    if ($module eq 'DBI' && $vnum =~ /1\.6\d$/) {
        $vnum .= "0";
    }

could be added to this file, after the similar lines for CGI and CPAN - around l670 in bugzilla 4.2.7.


Actual results:

The script checksetup.pl complained that it required DBI version 1.614 or above.


Expected results:

I should have been able to complete installation since DBI version 1.630 is more recent than 1.614.
