Don't _describe_ your errors. Copy and paste them from the terminal when they occur. I have no idea what exactly you did.

That's what it was before. and > ended the successful install. Without seeing a literal transcript of your output from the time you tried to do "fink install perl588" I have no idea what went on. > ----------------- > [:~] fritzhud% cd /sw/src/fink.build/perl588-5.8.8-9/perl-5.8.8/t > [:perl588-5.8.8-9/perl-5.8.8/t] fritzhud% sudo -s > Password: > [:perl588-5.8.8-9/perl-5.8.8/t] root# setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH `pwd` > [:perl588-5.8.8-9/perl-5.8.8/t] root# ./perl harness > base/cond...................................ok > > base/if.....................................ok > > base/lex....................................ok > > base/num....................................ok > > base/pat....................................ok > > <snip> the many lines of "ok" then to "lib/locale" many lines of the > "following locations tested OK" but then: > # The following locales > # > # eu_ES eu_ES.ISO8859-1 eu_ES.ISO8859-15 eu_ES.UTF-8 > # > # had problems. > # > ../lib/locale...............................FAILED tests 99, 105-106, > 108-109, 113, 115 > Failed 7/117 tests, 94.02% okay > ../lib/Math/BigInt/t/bare_mbf...............ok > <snip> many more liines of "ok" and or "test skipped" and finally: > > pod/pod2usage2..............................ok > > pod/poderrs.................................ok > > pod/podselect...............................ok > > pod/special_seqs............................ok > > x2p/s2p.....................................ok > > Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > ../lib/locale.t 117 7 5.98% 99 105-106 108-109 113 115 > 30 tests and 252 subtests skipped. > Failed 1/996 test scripts, 99.90% okay. 7/118105 subtests failed, 99.99% > okay. > [:perl588-5.8.8-9/perl-5.8.8/t] root# > ==================================== > It's the same thing as you saw before. You did the same operation and got the same result, so Fink isn't insane. My questions at this point are: Do you have both perl588-core_5.8.8-9_darwin-powerpc.deb and perl588_5.8.8-9_darwin-powerpc.deb in /sw/fink/10.4/stable/main/binary_darwin_powerpc/languages ? Do you also have perl588-core_5.8.8-9_darwin-powerpc.deb and perl588_5.8.8-9_darwin-powerpc.deb in /sw/fink/debs ? > Somewhere at the end or beginning there was "It's been 26 days since you > ran "fink update try to run that again and re-try the installation" but > would that really be relevant for the 10.4.11 version?
