Hi
I had a problem installing xml-sax-pm586 via fink that I think I have
partially tracked down.
My system:
I've run fink selfupdate; fink update-all
osx 10.4.10
$ fink -V
Package manager version: 0.27.6
Distribution version: 0.8.1.rsync powerpc
The problem stems from having XML::SAX v0.16 installed through CPAN.
Which resulted in an error while installing xml-sax-pm586.
----- Here's the error-----------------------------
$fink -v install xml-sax-pm586

Failed: can't install package xml-sax-pm586-0.15-2
----- Here's the temporary solution---
`mv /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/XML/LibXML/
SAX.pm /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/XML/LibXML/SAX-
moved-temporarily.pm`
now `fink -v install xml-sax-pm586` works as expected
-----the reason....... /sw/sbin/update-perl586-sax-parsers
/sw/bin/update-perl586-sax-parsers
I don't know enough about fink to know where this file comes from but
it has a problem, I believe :)
Line 12 should read:
12 unshift (@INC, "/sw/lib/perl5", "/sw/lib/perl5/5.8.6", "/sw/lib/
perl5/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level");
NOT
12 push (@INC, "/sw/lib/perl5", "/sw/lib/perl5/5.8.6", "/sw/lib/
perl5/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2
The "push" puts the dirs on the END of @INC which still uses my CPAN
version of XML::SAX
unshift puts them at the BEGINNING of @INC
/sw/sbin/update-perl586-sax-parsers
