Now that the fink versions on Jaguar and Panther are different, it would be nice if the old dumpinfo bug could be fixed.
Whereas I don't know enough perl to understand the origin of the problem, here is some observation that could perhaps help some of you perl gurus to see what is going on:
The point where the bug
Failed: Sort subroutine didn't return single value at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 766.
appears is the following subroutine:
sub sort_versions { sort { version_cmp($a,"<=>",$b) } @_; }
In perl-5.8.x this works as intended, in perl-5.6.x it produces the error.
When I replace the subroutine by the following two subroutines which in my (virtually non-existing) understanding of perl should be entirely equivalent:
sub my_version_cmp { version_cmp($a,"<=>",$b) }
sub sort_versions {
sort my_version_cmp @_;
}
then the error disappears. OTOH, when I replace here the line
sort my_version_cmp @_;
by
sort { my_version_cmp } @_;then the error reappears.
What gives?
