Hello list,

I'm currently running into a dependency problem regarding libperl on a SPARC
Solaris 8 platform : libperl seems to depend both on packages perl5 (Perl 5.6.1)
and perl58 (Perl 5.8.6), which are mutually incompatible :-(

- If I start with libperl and no perl installed, pkgsrc first installs Perl 5.6
(deprecated, because vulnerable), then complains that Perl 5.8 can not be found,
and tries to install Perl 5.6 again, which fails :

  root@nanteau 180:make -DALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES
  => Checksum OK for perl-5.6.1.tar.gz.
  ===> Extracting for libperl-5.6.1
  ===> Required installed package perl-5.6.1{,nb*}: perl-5.6.1nb10 found
  ===> Required installed package {perl>=5.0,perl-thread>=5.0}: perl-5.6.1nb10 found
  ===> Required package perl>=5.8.5nb6: NOT found
  ===> Verifying reinstall for ../../lang/perl5
  ===> Installing for perl-5.6.1nb10
  ===> perl-5.6.1nb10 is already installed - perhaps an older version?
  *** If so, you may use either of:
  ***  - "pkg_delete perl-5.6.1nb10" and "/usr/pkg/bin/make reinstall" to
upgrade properly
  ***  - "/usr/pkg/bin/make update" to rebuild the package and all of its
dependencies
  ***  - "/usr/pkg/bin/make replace" to replace only the package without re-linking
  ***    dependencies, risking various problems.
  *** Error code 1

- On the other hand, if I try to install Perl 5.8 first (after deinstalling Perl
5.6, of course), pkgsrc first tries to reinstall Perl5.6,and complains that 5.8
is in the way... :-(

I guess I'll find a fix (propbably  reinstall things by hand), because I have to
get it working again quickly. (For the record, it all started with a "make
update" on a pretty inocuous Perl module, which zapped Perl, eperl, Mason, etc.
Some days I hate pkgsrc...)

Laurent.
