Anyone have an idea where to start? Karl

I would be quite interested in the results of asking Ubuntu/Debian folks about this!

Hi Ed, you are absolutely right! Oops. I’ve rewritten the email again below as correctness is critical due to the multiple similar names, In any case, looking at https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/amd64/pdl/filelist implies that there is indeed no PGPLOT.pm<http://pgplot.pm/> (though the demos are present). https://wnpp.debian.net/?type%5B%5D=RFP&project=libpdl-graphics-plplot-perl&description=&owner%5B%5D=yes&owner%5B%5D=no&col%5B%5D=description&sort=project%3Bdesc implies there is an open “RFP” (request for packaging) for libpdl-graphics-plplot-perl, which in turn implies that if someone did create a package, they would accept it. Yes, but this is for the PLPLOT interface not the PGPLOT interface. I was wondering if this was a typo and more generally if anyone on the dev list here new what the plan was for the package refactoring on debian. I can take this to the Ubuntu or Debian lists but thought I would start here first --- Hi there devs, Does anyone know what is going on in the Ubuntu/debian packges for PDL and the PGPLOT interface? If I do ‘apt install pdl’ then running pdl and doing ‘use PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT’ gives a missing package error. There is a message during the apt install that says: sudo apt install pdl ... Suggested packages: gsl-ref-psdoc | gsl-doc-pdf | gsl-doc-info | gsl-ref-html libhdf4-doc libhdf4-alt-dev hdf4-tools doc-base libastro-fits-header-perl libdevel-repl-perl libextutils-f77-perl libfile-map-perl libinline-perl libinline-c-perl libmodule-compile-perl libopengl-perl libpdl-fftw-perl libpdl-graphics-plplot-perl libpgplot-perl netpbm | imagemagick proj-bin If I then install libpgplot-perl then ‘use PGPLOT’ works but not ‘use PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT’. (I note that libpdl-graphics-plplot-perl does not seem to exist, logically one might think there should be a libpdl-graphics-pgplot-perl but that is not even mentioned - seehttps://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/pdl) The module PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT is pure perl, so there is no harm in including it in the pdl package. I am guessing someone removed it from the debian(?) package and intended to create libpdl-graphics-pgplot-perl as part of a package refactoring, but did not. It almost looks like libpdl-graphics-plplot-perl is a typo? I am not sure if this is an Ubuntu issue or a Debian one, and I don’t really following all the naming conventions of the metapackages and how Ubuntu packages relate to Debian ones Note the pdl.perl.org<http://pdl.perl.org/> easy install page recommendation for Ubuntu/debian no longer works! best Karl p.s. not relevant but the libpgplot-perl package actually gives a re-implementation of pgplot using giza, _______________________________________________ pdl-devel mailing list pdl-devel@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:pdl-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pdl-devel
