I am testing it, there are not that many failing but I guess that will
be over a hundred so it would be good to test in the code if it
succeeded

Good news is that several of them does not seem to have ever been
uploaded so they don't matter

Some of them have release %mkrel 0 and the code fails to handle that
but this should be easy to fix (Unable to extract release number from
value '0'), that would fix a lot of the ones in the list

        croak "Unable to extract release number from value '$value'"
            unless $number;

Changing it to unless defined($number); should do the trick

Beginning of the list (until c) with unpatched code:

[pterjan at chopin cauldron-auto]$ for s in */*.spec; do perl
-mYouri::Package::RPM::Updater -e
"Youri::Package::RPM::Updater->new()->update_from_spec('$s')"
>/dev/null 2>&1 ; svn diff $s | grep -q . || echo $s; done

Same after adding defined():

[pterjan at chopin cauldron-auto]$ for s in */*.spec; do perl
-mYouri::Package::RPM::Updater -e
"Youri::Package::RPM::Updater->new()->update_from_spec('$s')"
