I'm a complete Linux novice so go easy on me. I have a quad Wandboard that's using the SOA image posted by Triode way back - I don't recall the exact post number. The SOA application loads correctly, but when I try to update/install LMS 7.9 or 7.8 using the update feature, it fails because the version of perl that is currently installed is 5.22 and LMS is looking for 5.21. I tried editing /etc/pacman.conf as was suggested, but that doesn't seem to work, failing with exactly the same problem. After rebooting, I've checked that the edit was saved. I've tried using perlbrew to install perl 5.21, but that fails (after a long wait!) too. Searching for a way to roll back perl to an earlier version in ARM archlinux doesn't produce a solution that I can follow. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
