So I try installing perl5.26 by itself; it fails with a message that "clang-3.7" cannot be updated. I try updating clang-3.7; it fails with (you guessed it) a dependency on perl5.26 not updating. I upgrade clang-3.7 with the -n option, and that seems to work. But perl5.26 still refuses to update. Trying to update perl5.26 with the -n option: no luck either. It always fails in the destroot phase. Trying an extra cleean beforehand also does not help.
Attached is the main log for the attempt to install perl5.26 with the -n option.
The fricas port incidentally installed with the -n option just fine using whichever version of Perl I have, which actually seems to be perl 5, version 26, subversion 3.
So, can someone shed light on this? Thanks much, Uli
