[arch-general] Something Broken with Perl!
I think when perl was upgraded to 5.14, something broke with one of its libraries. Whenever I type 'automake' or attempt to recompile several perl packages from AUR, I get the following error message: /usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/List/Util/Util.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Istack_sp_ptr Thoughts anyone? I see this as a show stopper for any development right now. Thanks.

Did you look at the post installation message, when you upgraded perl. It should have something like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The directories /usr/lib/perl5/current, /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current, /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1, and /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 have been removed from @INC. The script/binary directories are now /usr/bin/*_perl instead of /usr/lib/perl5/*_perl/bin which will be eventually removed.

Yes I did and why I suspect the breakage. Though these directories were removed, that doesn't tell me what I need to do to fix the problem I have now with basic programs like automake. What am I missing here?

They provide it, but at a different path. The file mentioned here is not contained in any package we built.

Not a clue at this point. Yesterday, ptal-init worked fine. perl upgrade and now that error on boot up. Just passing the info along. I do have a few AUR packages on my system, but no breakages from anything other than ptal-init as reported. C

I had a breakage (with the same error message) with rxvt-unicode-chinese from the AUR, but it was resolved upon upgrading to the new version. I don't know if the fix was due to recompiling or the new version, however. == John K Pate http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/s0930006/ -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.

You have a file on your system that causes breakage, and is either not tracked by pacman, or contained in a non-official package. Isn't the solution obvious here? In the first case, delete the file, in the second case, delete the broken package.

After plowing through this thread, I am replying to say that the library in question belongs to perl-scalar-list-utils which can be found in AUr. It is required by other packages like perl-eval-closure. It is all part of a long list of cascading dependencies for perl-moos and perl-net-twitter. One other thing I observe with this package is that perl-scalar-list-utils has a 'replaces' entry, replacing perl-scalar-utils; I don't see that name in any repos nor my system at the moment.

Yeah, I figure this package replaced that one. Anyway, it contains the library that is causing my problems. I wouldn't mind merely removing this package but then the packages requiring perl-scalar-list-utils will start complaining so I feel like I might be getting trapped in dependency hell. If that library is indeed a part of other standard packages, then at least automake should start working again.

I did again just now and re-installed. automake still works but I still can't compile perl-moose but I get another lookup error so I rebuilt the package that owns the library causing the error but still no go. At least automake works so I can build other packages. I have never seen such a colamity of errors with changes to perl though. I guess I will post a bug report to the perl-moose package in AUR to see how to resolve it. I'm not heavy waited enough in perl to be able track down these root causes without some help from my friends:).

`cpanp i Moose` works fine here. IMHO you should install perl-cpanpplus-dist-arch (run setupdistarch as your user afterwards) and use cpanp to generate and install pacman perl packages. It's way easier to use than AUR. This is what I did: pacman -Qm | grep "^perl-" > perlpkgs pacman -Rcs $(<perlpkgs) use cpanp to reinstall everything in perlpkgs that you still need -- Florian Pritz

Hey, that sounds like an excellent alternative. That day I setup perl-net-twitter, I think I had to install over 30 dependencies before the day was done! Is this cpanp package also available in AUR or is this something separate?

It doesn't for me. I'll describe below.
Been there, done that. I did the setup and the appropriate directory was built successfully in my home directory - .cpanplus is the root of cpanplus app[arently.
Once the perlpkgs file was built, I had to go in and manually remove all the version numbers; otherwise, pacman threw errors; it could not recognize them as additional packages.

Do you need to be root to do this installation? I ask this because after building the .cpanplus resources under my home directory, I figured I would have to do 'cpanp -i Net::Twitter' from my normal user account. But nothing got installed and the packages all complained about missing dependencies. I read the documentation (what little there was) and I can't figure out what else I need to do to get this working. It appears a bunch of packages got download and expanded into ./cpanplus/lib/5.14.1 but they all failed because none of the other dependencies were installed yet. What do I need to do here?

using this command do not require manual editing of perlpkgs file ;)

Oops, that should have been pacman -Qqm.
I had the problem that old packages interfered with the dependency resolution and led to build failures for the new ones. If you have anything left over (aur packages, old ones install by cpan), try removing that. This might be solved quicker if you ask folks on irc. -- Florian Pritz
Well, I've been messing with cpanplus and the distarch part of it. I have some questions now. Where does cpanp get the information to generate a properly configured PKGBUILD for a module? Right now, I cannot use cpanp to build Params::Util because it keeps sticking a bad dependency in the PKGBUILD for perl. I have cpanplusdistarch configured to autogenerate the arch package. Should I not be doing this? When I tried installing CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch by using cpanp, it put the scripts in the wrong place so I couldn't execute them. Instead, I removed that install and installed the perl-cpanplus-dist-arch from AUR; that way the scripts are in the right place. Any more ideas here?

From the META.yml [1] file on cpan.

Well, perl guys tend to loose the dots so 5.14.1 would be 5.014001. You can test that using `perl -v` or `perl -e 'print $^V'` and `perl -e 'print $]'`. "$]" and "$^V" contain the perl version you're running in different formats. I have no idea why there are two formats though.
Works fine for me. [1] http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/ADAMK/Params-Util-1.04/META.yml -- Florian Pritz

Before I saw this reply, I went ahead and installed Params::Util from the perl-params-util package from AUR; that went in fine because the PKGBUILD has the perl version dependency changed down to simply '5'. After that, I went back and used cpanp to install Moose and whammo! It picked up all the necessary dependencies and plugged them all in without further incident. So my faith in cpanplus is restored:). Maybe the version number dependency for Params::Util needs to be corrected so cpanp can compare it properly? Not sure how to go about that though. Fortunately, that was the only package that held things up for me. I sure like the way it grabbed all the dependencies for me now. thanks for the recommendation for this package.
