Do you mean the agent will get those monitor informations without those dependencies. > And using a mandatory dependency for the first one, > and an optional dependency on the other is incoherent moreover, as both are > needed actually. I think the libparse-edid-perl dependency is mandatory in debian package since the package manager can not detect automatically you need to install this lib if you choose to install read-edid (there is no direct relationship between those 2 packages). >> I suggest you to install both >> to make sure the agent is able to get more information (though I'm not >> sure if libparse-edid-perl is enough to do the job as I'm not currently >> able to look at the code). >> >> > - and especially, as it is it that I have not read or seen these >> warning missing packets or features during installation agent from source >> ? >> >> You will not get any warnings by installing from sources directly > > That's wrong. Just try to run 'perl Makefile.PL'. I'm not completely wrong but i should have been more specific : You will not get any warnings *about missing optional commands* used by agents by installing from sources. It will just complain at runtime. Also, I just ran 'perl Makefile.PL' and there are no complaints about those 2 dependencies (and this makes sense since they are not mandatory in order to run the agent). >> and >> you should use cpanm to grab Perl dependencies. > > That's just one option among others.

You can read 'you should' as 'I suggest you to'. -- Kevin _______________________________________________ Fusioninventory-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fusioninventory-user
