Hello, I run a Linux from Scratch system and for Perl I keep the modules updated using cpan (/usr/local/bin/cpan version 1.64, same file is under perl-source directory utils/cpan). When I type “r” to get the newest packages, the output contains
Package namespace installed latest in CPAN file XML::SemanticDiff::BasicHandler 1.0006 1.0007 PERIGRIN/XML-SemanticDiff-1.0007.tar.gz for very, very long time. According to https://metacpan.org/pod/XML::SemanticDiff#BUGS anomalies should be reported at https://github.com/shlomif/perl-XML-SemanticDiff/issues . As can be seen at https://github.com/shlomif/perl-XML-SemanticDiff/issues/10 this problem was reported also by others in 2020 and then was pointed out, that the package has a new maintainer, who shall enable updates 1.0006 → 1.0007. But https://github.com/shlomif/perl-XML-SemanticDiff/issues/11 from 2022 still indicates the problem exists, and https://github.com/shlomif/perl-XML-SemanticDiff/issues/12 opened by me in March does reiterate the problem. At https://metacpan.org/release/PERIGRIN/XML-SemanticDiff-1.0007/source/lib/XML/SemanticDiff/BasicHandler.pm#L6 is written our $VERSION = '1.0006'; I kindly ask you to take measures so that the cpan command can upgrade from 1.0006 to 1.0007, the servers stop reporting version 1.0007, or anything similar. Kind regards Дилян
