#28485: p5-extutils-cbuilder @0.280202 update breaks other perl modules ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: mas@… | Owner: narf_tm@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: p5-extutils-cbuilder p5-ipc-cmd p5-module-corelist ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Comment(by mas@…): r76485 makes perl5.12 the default. But even after manual removal of all perl5 @5.8* and perl5.8 ports, the perl5 package itself, now @5.12.3_0+perl5_12, still provides $prefix/bin/corelist. (You can check yourself using "port contents perl5|grep corelist" -- does this result in no output on your system? What output do you get for "port provides /opt/local/bin/corelist"?) In other words, r76485 does not fix this for me, sorry. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28485#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

IPC::Cmd requires Module::Load::Conditional. Module::Load::Conditional 0.44 requires at least Module::CoreList 2.22. This is newer than the Module::CoreList that is included with Perl 5.8. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28485#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Just remove the offending binary from perl5/files/binList. @mas: I believe the idea is that p5-module-corelist can be updated independently of perl and will be a newer version than that bundled with older perl releases. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28485#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

We've got another breakage that has to be dealt with. That may be the right way to go, and just add additional dependencies to other ports, maybe its not though. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28485#comment:13> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

r76301 has added a dependency on p5-ipc-cmd to p5-extutils-cbuilder. p5 -ipc-cmd in turn depends on p5-module-corelist. And p5-module-corelist conflicts with perl5.8, as both p5-module-corelist and perl5.8 provide $prefix/bin/corelist.

This breaks at least the following modules: p5-module-build, p5-sub- uplevel, p5-test-exception, p5-carp-clan, p5-bit-vector, p5-date-calc, p5 -date-holidays-de.

The problem still persists, no matter whether perl 5.8, 5.10 or 5.12 are installed.) Do I get this right? At the moment, trying to make things compatible with perl 5.8 breaks them for *all* versions of perl. Not good. IOW, if perl 5.12 is installed (as is the default now), the dependency for p5-module-load-conditional is satisfied by simply having the perl5 port installed. p5-module-load-conditional really only requires p5-module- corelist (which, however, will still conflict with perl5) if perl 5.8 is selected. So would a possible short-term intervention be to change the p5-module- load-conditional port to only depend on p5-module-corelist in a variant called perl5_8? Things would still be broken, but at least not for everybody, but only for those still requiring perl 5.8. In the long term, I agree with ricci: Short of dropping support for perl 5.8, the "right" solution would be to remove corelist from the perl5 port and to add a dependency on p5-module-corelist to all ports needing it. Identifying those might be a daunting task. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28485#comment:22> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
