Dear list, I submitted a Bugzilla report on our issue with the latest perl update [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717565] but RedHat have responded with "This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative." Is this par for the course? The perl package is trying to chown folders in /usr/local which I don't think it should be touching, and this is stopping installation on any machines that don't have root rw access to /usr/local/. Is this not a bug? [I know I can allow root rw access, apply the patches and remove rw access but that isn't the point.] We have an Academic subscription so don't have a support representative. Is there anything else I can do? It looks like this relatively simple installer bug is never going to be fixed. I'm a bit disappointed with the RedHat response. thanks iain
