There is a bug where CPAN packages are +being misreported. + +The get_installed_cpans() subroutine in Pkgs.pm has been reporting removed CPAN +modules as still being installed, and the check was missing from sboupgrade +altogether. As a solution, check the contents of .packlist for file or symlink +existence. + +Basic fixes in sbotools version 3: + + - Don't report the CPAN module as installed unless all files are present + https://github.com/pghvlaans/sbotools/commit/667757f33ab166d7676f670db6d2c9b3c5ca7c48 + + - Report partially-installed CPAN modules (but don't block installation) for + more informative output. + https://github.com/pghvlaans/sbotools/commit/0b9000b7c70b942245472c82064e98f4a484326c + +Thanks to pghvlaans for submitting the issue. + +This is low priority, because this feature does not appear to be common or well used. |
