[Fink-users] system-perl in 10.3

2004-02-07 Thread Artemio Gonzalez Lopez
Is system-perl needed in Mac OS X 10.3? The .deb and .info files I have 
for
system-perl are all in the 10.2 and 10.2-gcc3 trees. However, fink 
list system-perl
produces the following output (even after rebuilding the index):

i   system-perl  5.8.1-1[virtual package 
representing perl]

On the other hand, dpkg -r --force-all system-perl  results in the 
following contradictory warning:

dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove system-perl which isn't 
installed.

What gives?

Cheers,

Artemio Gonzalez-Lopez

In the same way system-xfree86 and friends automatically exist if 
they're found, system-perl is now a virtual package that's 
automatically detected based on what version of perl is installed in 
/usr/bin.  If you ran the exact same fink program on a 10.2 machine it 
would say it's 5.6.0-1 for you instead, automatically.

You can't remove it because it doesn't actually exist in dpkg as a 
package, it's faked by Fink.

system-perl is now a virtual package that automatically detects your 
system's version of Perl.  You can't remove it.

[Fink-users] system-perl

2003-11-22 Thread Andrew Hartung
I am still tring to fix my html-tableextract-pm problems.

I have fink'd perl5.8 installed, but also system-perl. Do I need 
system-perl? When I trying to remove it via fink, I get the following:

~ $ fkr system-perl
/usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink  remove system-perl
Information about 2757 packages read in 2 seconds.
dpkg --remove system-perl
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove system-perl which isn't 
installed.

note: fkr is an alias for fink remove

Fink shows this as installed when I list it:

 $ fkl perl (alias for fink list)
Information about 2757 packages read in 2 seconds.
  snip

Thank you,

system-perl represents your system's builtin Perl.

I understand that, but is it necessary when perl 5.8 is installed? And 
why do I get the error when I try to remove it?

OS 10.2.8
