Hi,

Module XSLoader META information do not contains the "provides" entry, with the package and the version.
Due to that missing data, carton and cpanm are affected, as reported there: https://github.com/perl-carton/carton/issues/210#issuecomment-236916456

For reference, the content of the issue is included herebelow

Pierre

----------
With the following cpanfile:

requires 'List::MoreUtils';
if i install that with carton, then delete the cpanfile.snapshot and then run carton install --deployment, i face the following error message:

[pierre:~/tmp/xs]> carton install --deployment
Installing modules using /Users/pierre.vigier/tmp/xs/cpanfile (deployment mode)
Found XSLoader  which doesn't satisfy 0.22.
Successfully installed Exporter-Tiny-0.042
! Installing the dependencies failed: Installed version (0.16) of XSLoader is not in range '0.22'
! Bailing out the installation for List-MoreUtils-0.416.

The corresponding cpanfile.snapshot is generated by carton install

Any ideas why the --deployment does not work there? seems to be related to the XSLoader-0.22 that does not specify the version of XSLoader it is providing
