*** Bug 518638 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The problem is that dev-perl/XML-LibXML, dev-perl/XML-SAX-Expat need to modify this file and that's why it's created in pkg_postinst of XML-SAX (XML-SAX regenerates it). Also, as XML-SAX includes PurePerl parser it also need to create this file. So we have situation where 3 packages use one common file and that behavior can't be altered. I think the best way is to create a sort of virtual package that will generate ParserDetails.ini and installs only it (and generate it depending on USE-flags). This will require some work to migrate all packages to this virtual XML-SAX package.
Developers, bug 509096 is a duplicate of this bug, but that entry discusses the details instead of this.
*** Bug 509096 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I'm preparing to have these files automatically removed by perl-cleaner in outdated directories. Future versions of XML-SAX should own the file though, also in preparation (but not so trivial without loss on upgrade).
*** Bug 684720 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
These files are now removed by perl-cleaner.
I confirm the file is removed in the process now. The superordinate dirs are being left behind, though. After the recent upgrade from perl 5.34 to 5.36 and "perl-cleaner --all" I still had /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.34 with an empty XML/SAX inside.
