Hello,

I was trying to figure out why something doesn't work with a certain perl module and even though later I found out that the problem is somewhere else, I noticed that there still are some files and directories in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current. The packages responsible for this (on my machine) are: perl-compress-zlib perl-parse-recdescent perl-term-readline perl-io-compress-base perl-io-compress-zlib perl-compress-raw-zlib Is this considered a bug, shoud I file a bug report? If so, one for each package, or just on report listing them all?

You can remove: perl-compress-zlib perl-io-compress-base perl-io-compress-zlib perl-compress-raw-zlib as they are now provided by the perl package. The two other use the new policy make sure your system (and mirror you use ) is up-to-date: perl-parse-recdescent-1.95.1-1 perl-term-readline-1.0302-1

Also, there are these following five files that no package owns. error: No package owns ./x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DCOP/Object.pm error: No package owns ./x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DCOP/DCOP.bs error: No package owns ./x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DCOP/DCOP.so error: No package owns ./x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DCOP/.packlist error: No package owns ./x86_64-linux-thread-multi/DCOP.pm This really confuses me because I never (and I mean really never) install anything any other way than via pacman. It is perhaps related to http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8466, although I'm not sure how come they're without an owner now. Maybe it is because they used to be in site_perl/5.8.8 (and site_perl/current was only a symlink), whereas now they're in site_perl/current which is a regular directory now (and kdebindings still "owns" them in site_perl/5.8.8).

Yeah, thanks, this actually came to me while I was having breakfast today (I wrote the original message right before I went to bed), so my mistake. I forgot to check the list from pacman log after I upgraded perl.

It seems perl-term-readline is my own fault too, I probably installed it from source using the old PKGBUILD (and only modifying the version). But I did find perl-parse-recdescent-1.95.1-1.pkg.tar.gz in /var/cache/pacman/pkg and this package installs things into the old directories. There's a new version of this package on FTP now (which installs into correct directories) but the filename is still the same. So maybe firmicus (who built the new version) forgot to increment $pkgrel when he was updating the PKGBUILD?

That's a possibility. Contact him directly in case he doesn't read the ML.. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
