hrm. I get no segfault, but i can't seem to use the same step of just
unpacking the 5.10 packages into the chroot because the perl include
path doesn't get properly updated:
0 tigra:/home/publicshare# LANG=C chroot /target perl -e 'use Encode'
Can't locate Encode.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl
.) at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.
2 tigra:/home/publicshare#
i next tried it with: "chroot /target aptitude install perl" (after
only updating the sources.list to point to sid, without upgrading any
other packages). At that point, i can cleanly run the test:
0 tigra:/home/publicshare# chroot /target perl -e 'use Encode'
0 tigra:/home/publicshare#
So i'd tentatively say that the 5.10 packages appear to fix this
migration path on powerpc.
Please let me know if there are other tests i can run.
