Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libio-compress-base-perl
issue:
libio-compress-base-perl does not include the necessary dependencies to produce
desired behavior.
for example:
I would expect installation of this module, libio-compress-base-perl, to
execute this code correctly for a compressed bzip2 file.
use IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress qw(anyuncompress $AnyUncompressError)
;
my $status = anyuncompress $input => $output
or die "anyuncompress failed: $AnyUncompressError\n";
however, since libio-compress-bzip2-perl is not installed the code
'fails' silently, i.e. it does not actually uncompress the file. (and
does not report an error, which would be an upstream bug, except I
believe this situation is not reached often, since IO-Compress has a
dependency of 'Compress::Raw::Bzip2' and 'Compress::Raw::Zlib' in it's
Makefile.PL)
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
$ apt-cache policy libio-compress-base-perl
libio-compress-base-perl:
Installed: 2.015-1
Candidate: 2.015-1
Version table:
*** 2.015-1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
what was expected:
installation of this module should make the following code work as expected,
for a bz2 file.
(i.e. $input is a bz2 file, $output is the uncompressed file)
use IO::Uncompress::AnyUncompress qw(anyuncompress $AnyUncompressError)
;
my $status = anyuncompress $input => $output
or die "anyuncompress failed: $AnyUncompressError\n";
in order to make this code work I had to install, sudo apt-get install
libio-compress-bzip2-perl
to reproduce:
a standard install of 'jaunty'
