This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10
development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Sorry I missed this before...

Actually, I wish it were that simple.  cpanspec only looks at CPAN metadata. 
If a dependency isn't in META.yml or Makefile.PL, it won't be picked up. 
Unfortunately, it seems like hardly anyone bothers to list Test::More as a
dependency.

The only way to fix this would be to use something like Module::ScanDeps, but
I've never been able to decide if that would be the right thing to do.
