Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libio-compress-zlib-perl
Firstly, this same file is provided in two packages, perl, and libcompress-raw-zlib-perl r...@rda:/srv/DM/DM-Model# apt-file search Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm libcompress-raw-zlib-perl: /usr/lib/perl5/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm perl: /usr/lib/perl/5.10.0/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm Ironically, if you use CPANPLUS to upgrade Compress::Raw::Zlib, it will dump over the perl file, this is because of an upstream bug I filed earlier with the way CPANPLUS is packaged in debian. Unlike CPAN, CPANPLUS is not yet configured properly by Debian. An upgrade to a core module will override any existing module packaged by perl. As if this wasn't bad enough, that module that was overriden will sit lower in the @INC stream. So CPANPLUS will override a base-perl module with no means of brining it back, and perl won't be able to find it anyway because the perl module installed by libcompress-raw-zlib-perl will override it. libcompress-raw-zlib-perl: /usr/lib/perl5/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm (version 2.011) perl: /usr/lib/perl/5.10.0/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm (version 2.020) ** Affects: libio-compress-zlib-perl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: perl (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #533707 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533707 ** Also affects: perl (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533707 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: CPAN RT #46895 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46895 -- Confusing conflicts with CPAN and core perl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394481 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
