Just found out this bug is problematic at installing perl: the symlink from 5.8.8 to current in /usr/lib/perl5 is not created. This causes problems for everything that uses perl. Fix is to create the symlink manually: rm -R /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/current /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 Glenn _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
