Re: [SLUG] perl modules ubuntu probs
The apt version will overwrite the cpan version. (not always). Cpan will report one version and and apt another which can get confusing. I have mixed apt and cpan to correct versions of software and when I update it is generally to the version that works for me anyway Ken Foskey On 15/04/2011, at 9:28 AM, Amos Shapira wrote: > Not sure. > I'd lean towards removing it if possible (usually should be possible through > standard CPAN commands). > Check first where the files from the CPAN package were installed vs. the > dpkg package. > > On 14 April 2011 14:38, Voytek Eymont wrote: > >> >> On Fri, April 15, 2011 6:55 am, Amos Shapira wrote: >>> (I assume you meant "clan"->"cpan", right?) >>> Mixing CPAN and none-cpan packing is an invitation to a nightmare.

Re: [SLUG] perl modules ubuntu probs
Not sure. I'd lean towards removing it if possible (usually should be possible through standard CPAN commands). Check first where the files from the CPAN package were installed vs. the dpkg package.

Re: [SLUG] perl modules ubuntu probs
(I assume you meant "clan"->"cpan", right?) Mixing CPAN and none-cpan packing is an invitation to a nightmare. Either install EVERYTHING from cpan or nothing at all. A quick "apt-cache search BinHex" shows that there is a ubuntu package for it: libconvert-binhex-perl. If you need a CPAN package which doesn't have a .deb then there are relatively simple tools to create .deb. --Amos On 14 April 2011 01:06, Ken Foskey wrote: > Force it then use clan to upgrade it.

Re: [SLUG] perl modules ubuntu probs
Force it then use clan to upgrade it. When it updates through the pm next it will overwrite because the pm does not know about your manual update Ken Foskey On 14/04/2011, at 1:41 PM, "Voytek Eymont" wrote: > > On Thu, April 14, 2011 9:31 am, John Clarke wrote: >> On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 11:55:59PM +1000, Voytek Eymont wrote: > >>> amavis says error with MIME Decoder BinHex but perl says it's >>> installed, >> >> Read the error message more closely: > > John, > > ooops, you're right, sorry > > >> MIME/Decoder/BinHex.pm won't start because it needs to load >> Convert/BinHex.pm, and perl can't find it.
