For Scalar::Util I found this: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/07/msg538118.html It looks like Scalar::Util bug, which should be fixed in upstream first. The problem with broken packages could be caused by mixed rpm modules and cpan modules. I done it once and had to reinstall all perl packages manually. I should have written all this down when I remembered the details. I eventually got past this problem when I found that a generated script file (I've forgotten which one) contained a NULL (^@) character at a point where some splice had occurred during the Make operation. I removed this character, and everything worked fine thereafter. Sorry for the lack of detail; maybe it will be a clue anyway. The package perl-5.8.8-36 upgrade the Scalar::Util on the latest version. The problem with XS support, weaken and other functions provided by Scalar::Util should be fixed by this update. If you problem persist, please feel free to reopen the bug. |
Description of problem: On installation (via pup) perl cannot find its modules, even though they were moved to /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8, presumably by the rpm package. Attempt to re-install them via CPAN breaks with "uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Scalar/Util.pm line 30." This line is a call to Carp::croak("$1 is only avaliable with the XS server"). [PS: available is mis-spelled in this error message, but we'll let that pass] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.8.8 How reproducible: I only tried it once. The system is now broken badly enough that nearly no perl scripts work. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
