Where did Apache2::Request / libapreq2 go?

[Mike Miller]

It seems Apache2::Request has disappeared from the CPAN index.

A bug report was opened a few months ago regarding this problem: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=44220

Currently, when attempting to install Apache2::Request via the CPAN module, CPAN throws a warning:
"Warning: Cannot install Apache2::Request, don't know what it is."

The module still exists and the source is available from here: http://search.cpan.org/~joesuf/libapreq2-2.12/glue/perl/lib/Apache2/Request.pm

I've been searching around trying to discover why it's been removed but have come up empty handed. Does anyone know why this has been removed from the CPAN index and if it will be returning?

Fixed now. The problem was that the META.yml contained the "provides"
entries but did not contain a file name in these entries. The PAUSE
indexer then signaled OK in the indexer report but withheld the entry
when actually producing the indexfile.

My current workaround is to tolerate "provides" entries without
"provides/file" entry but warn about them. Only libapreq2 was affected
and has now ended up in the indexfile.

Thanks for the heads up!
