I've been working the past few days trying to get a PowerBook G4 up to speed to work locally on some Perl stuff. I'm not a stranger to UNIX or apt-get or packages, but I'm also no great expert, and I've come up against something in Fink that I haven't been able to fix, though I'm sensing that the answer is quite simple and/or staring me in the face, so my apologies in advance if this is the case.
When I try to update-all, I get the following error message: WARNING: While resolving dependency "cpan-meta-yaml-pm (>= 0.003-1)" for package "extutils-makemaker-pm586-6.62-1", package "cpan-meta-yaml-pm" was not found. Reading build dependency for extutils-makemaker-pm586-6.62-1... WARNING: While resolving dependency "cpan-meta-yaml-pm >= 0.003-1" for package "extutils-makemaker-pm586-6.62-1", package "cpan-meta-yaml-pm" was not found. Can't resolve dependency "cpan-meta-yaml-pm (>= 0.003-1)" for package "extutils-makemaker-pm586-6.62-1" (no matching packages/versions found) Exiting with failure. I found in the online documentation a note that says that cpan-meta-yaml-pm is not included in the 10.4 distribution, with additional links to the updated file (which seems to be at .005). I've downloaded and installed this file, but Fink still complains. I'm not sure what needs to be done to make Fink aware of the files.... Here's this list: ibnzayd$ sudo find / -iname YAML.pm -print /Library/Perl/5.8.6/CPAN/Meta/YAML.pm /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/CPAN/Meta/YAML/YAML.pm /Library/Perl/5.8.6/Module/Build/YAML.pm /Library/Perl/5.8.6/Test/YAML.pm /Library/Perl/5.8.6/YAML.pm /sw/lib/perl5/Test/YAML.pm /sw/lib/perl5/YAML.pm /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/CPAN/Meta/YAML.pm /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/TAP/Parser/Result/YAML.pm a kdump reveals: 2353 perl NAMI "/sw/lib/perl5/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/YAML/Tag.pmc" 2353 perl NAMI "/sw/lib/perl5/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/YAML/Tag.pm" 2353 perl NAMI "/sw/lib/perl5/5.8.6/YAML/Tag.pmc" 2353 perl NAMI "/sw/lib/perl5/5.8.6/YAML/Tag.pm" 2353 perl NAMI "/sw/lib/perl5/darwin-thread-multi-2level/YAML/Tag.pmc" 2353 perl NAMI "/sw/lib/perl5/darwin-thread-multi-2level/YAML/Tag.pm" 2353 perl NAMI "/sw/lib/perl5/YAML/Tag.pmc" 2353 perl NAMI "/sw/lib/perl5/YAML/Tag.pm" On a side note, attempting a clean install from cpan gives this: cpan[1]> clean YAML Reading '/Users/ibnzayd/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:12:14 GMT Running clean for module 'YAML' Running make clean Distribution seems to have never been unzipped/untarred, nothing done Any help is greatly appreciated.
