I do have the latest irssi. I checked the coredump and saw it segfaulted on
CharWidth.so.
Forced a rebuild of that module with `cpan -fi Text::CharWidth` and now
irssi works again.

Sounds like an incomplete upgrade (the segfaulting part). Please verify
that you have irssi 0.8.16-1.

As for my script, please always verify the results yourself, the script
simply checks every perl module and reports loading error, but some
modules (like Irssi::{UI,TextUI,Irc}) are not supposed to be loaded
directly which means you'll get false positives in the script's output.

Also read up on mailing list etiquette, only quote what you need and
don't top post.

Irssi is segfaulting. I ran the find-broken-perl-packages.sh

script, and it indeed shows Irssi and it's perl modules to be broken.
What can I do to fix this?

There can be false positives. The script just logs every module that
fails to load and I've seen a SVN::_* modules and TK::something being
unable to load directly. SVN::Client loads fine.

Use "perl -M$modulename -e1;" to see the error messages and if that
crashes or prints something obvious you'll need to rebuild.

DateTime was broken, I just rebuilt that.

It is called by your script, and pkgfile does not know it.


Also from my ~/bin repo, same dir.

Thanks, seems to work fine.

But perl-term-readline-gnu and subversion are marked to be rebuild. Both were 
updated today by Felix and I do not see a problem.

So should we take anything find-broken-perl-packages tells us for granted? Can 
it have false positives?

Thanks and best regards again

Stefan

Hi,

Perl 5.20, as any other new perl version, requires all modules that are
not purely perl code to be rebuilt. We did that for all packages in our
repos.

For a list of upstream changes please refer to `man perldelta`.

Since users probably installed some from AUR or with
CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch, I wrote a script[1] that generates a local rebuild
list.

[1]:
https://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/bin/plain/find-broken-perl-packages.sh

  - raw.txt contains a list of files that generated an error
  - perl-modules.txt contains a list of modules the files belong to
  - perl-dists.txt contains a list of distributions
  - pacman.txt contains a list of pacman packages the files belong to

Binaries linking with libperl.so will also need to be rebuilt. You can
use lddd from devtools to find those.

If you get an error that perl-scalar-list-utils can't be found when
running -Syu install it with -S perl-scalar-list-utils. Seems to be a
bug in pacman.

Please report any issue you encounter.



Hello,

where can I get module-to-dist.pl from?

It is called by your script, and pkgfile does not know it.

Best Regards
Stefan
