(I assume you meant "clan"->"cpan", right?) Mixing CPAN and none-cpan packing is an invitation to a nightmare. Either install EVERYTHING from cpan or nothing at all.
A quick "apt-cache search BinHex" shows that there is a ubuntu package for it: libconvert-binhex-perl. If you need a CPAN package which doesn't have a .deb then there are relatively simple tools to create .deb. --Amos On 14 April 2011 01:06, Ken Foskey <[email protected]> wrote: > Force it then use clan to upgrade it.
