# CPAN bug

Sbotool's appears to consider packages installed via both CPAN and via
Slackware package management system.  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

 - Report partially-installed CPAN modules (but don't block installation) for
   more informative output.

Thanks to pghvlaans for submitting the issue.

This is low priority, because this feature does not appear to be common or well used.
