'allo,

Yesterday, I upgraded from pkgsrc-2005Q2 to -current. Running a pkg_chknow tells me:


   WARNING: No lang/perl58/Makefile - package moved or obsolete?

Looking in pkgsrc/lang/perl58, all I have is a CVS directory. There is alang/perl5, which seems to be perl-5.8. lang/perl58 was versioned at perl 5.8.6.

How do I rectify/resolve this situation ? Would linking lang/perl58/Makefileto lang/perl5/Makefile be the preferred solution ? Or maybe just linklang/perl58 to lang/perl5 ?



cheers,

     mehul
