What is this perlxml package? Why do I have perl-xml-parser here, owning the above file? It seems like perl-xml-parser isn't in the repos anymore and I also failed to find it on webcvs. $ pacman -Q perl-xml-parser perl-xml-parser 2.34-2 I installed this package on Oct 09. I could find perlxml on webcvs, but it doesn't seem to be a new package, it's apparently 14 months old : http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/system/perlxml/?cvsroot=Extra&only_with_tag=CURRENT The version 2.34-4 lets think that perlxml is newer that perl-xml-parser, yet it's more than one year old. But if perlxml is supposed to replace perl-xml-parser, why doesn't the new package provide, replace, and conflict with the older one? Looks like both packages own exactly the same files. > $ perl > use XML::Parser; > Can't locate XML/Parser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: > /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi > /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at - line 1. > BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at - line 1. > It works fine here, with both perl-xml-parser 2.34-2 and perlxml 2.34-4 . _______________________________________________ arch mailing list arch@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
