This package is needed by perl-IO-Compress-Lzma 2.096: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:perl:autoupdate/perl-IO-Compress-Lzma It currently shows as unresolvable.

This package is in perl core as package version 2.093

https://build.opensuse.org/package/binary/openSUSE:Factory/perl/standard/x86_64/perl-5.32.0-1.1.x86_64.rpm

(Search for "perl(IO::Compress::Base)")

AFAICS we will never get perl-IO-Compress-Lzma into Factory unless we align perl-IO-Compress-* packages with the current Factory perl-core

# rpm -ql perl-doc|grep IO::Comp
/usr/share/man/man3/IO::Compress::Base.3pm.gz

The only chance I see ATM to get additional packages like IO-Compress-Lzma (required for unpacking .xz files) into factory is to use the same version as in Factory.

That's the reason why this package is disabled.

We would like to use IO::Uncompress::UnXz in OpenQA, but that is in IO-Compress-Lzma which needs perl(IO::Compress::Base) >= 2.093.

So we cannot handle xz files. I still don't understand the reason why this module is not in Factory.
