Hi all, I have some problems using Perllib RRDs since the upgrade to Perl 5.8.
When I'm trying to (re)install librrd I receive the following error: titanium:~# apt-get install librrds-perl Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: librrds-perl: Depends: perlapi-5.6.1 but it is not installable E: Sorry, broken packages I'm using the latest perl version from the testing release: titanium:~# dpkg --status perl Package: perl Status: install ok installed Priority: standard Section: interpreters Installed-Size: 11004 Maintainer: Brendan O'Dea <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 5.8.0-17 Replaces: perl-5.005 (<< 6), perl-5.6 (<< 6), perl-doc (<< 5.8.0-1), libdigest-md5-perl, libmime-base64-perl, libtime-hires-perl Provides: perl5, libdigest-md5-perl, libmime-base64-perl, libtime-hires-perl Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.0-17), perl-modules (>= 5.8.0-17), libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1), libdb4.0, libgdbmg1 Suggests: perl-doc, libterm-readline-perl-perl Conflicts: perl-5.004 (<< 6), perl-5.005 (<< 6), perl-5.6 (<< 6), perl-doc (<< 5.8.0-1), libdigest-md5-perl (<< 2.20-1), libmime-base64-perl (<< 2.12-1), libtime-hires-perl (<< 1.20-1) Description: Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report Language. An interpreted scripting language, known among some as "Unix's Swiss Army Chainsaw". . Perl is optimised for scanning arbitrary text files and system administration. It has built-in extended regular expression matching and replacement, a data-flow mechanism to improve security with setuid scripts and is extensible via modules that can interface to C libraries. titanium:~# dpkg --status perl-base Package: perl-base Essential: yes Status: install ok installed Priority: required Section: base Installed-Size: 1948 Maintainer: Brendan O'Dea <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: perl Version: 5.8.0-17 Replaces: perl-5.005-base (<< 6), perl-5.6-base (<< 6), perl (<< 5.8.0-9), perl-modules (<< 5.8.0-9) Provides: perl5-base, perlapi-5.8.0, data-dumper Pre-Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1) Suggests: perl Conflicts: perl-5.004-base (<< 6), perl-5.005-base (<< 6), perl-5.6-base (<< 6), data-dumper, autoconf2.13 (<< 2.13-45) Description: The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister. A scripting language with delusions of full language-hood, Perl is used in many system scripts and utilities. . This is a stripped down Perl with only essential libraries. To make full use of Perl, you'll want to install the `perl', `perl-modules' and optionally `perl-doc' packages which supplement this one. Additional information: titanium:~# uname -a Linux titanium.silverpoint.nl 2.4.20 #4 Wed May 14 00:34:49 CEST 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux If I manual try to use librrds-perl 1.0.42-1 from the unstable-debian version the lib doesn't give the correct output. I've tried installing librrds-perl on 3 different debian-testing machines, all with the same error. Regards, Marcel.
