Hi, Since the update of perl 5.10 to 5.12 yesterday, checkgmail (from community) doesn’t work anymore, it fails with this error : /usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/Glib/Glib.so: undefined symbol: Perl_sv_utf8_upgrade_flags Downgrading to perl 5.10 make it work, and updating checkgmail (with checkgmail --update) doesn’t solve the problem. I didn’t found anything about this problem in Flyspray or in the forums.

Thank you,

Certainly this is because glib-perl needs to be recompiled with perl 5.12. Other perl packages that include binary libraries may need to be recompiled too. We need a TODO list for such perl packages... F
