Package: perl Version: 5.10.1-17squeeze5 Severity: normal Working with colleague at the moment who just reported he hosed his site perl installation by forggeting to designate his locallib when installing a package he's working with.
I'd urge that on installation, the site perl install path permissions be updated with chattr +i to guard against this possibility. Other packages needing access to the site perl installation would need to chattr -i; install, chattr +i. It would be nice to make locallib and perhaps cpanm core components of a debian perl installation as well, with a default local lib designated so that the site perl paths need not be polluted by subsequent installations. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages perl depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6+squeeze1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdb4.7 4.7.25-9 Berkeley v4.7 Database Libraries [ ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-9 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii perl-base 5.10.1-17squeeze5 minimal Perl system ii perl-modules 5.10.1-17squeeze5 Core Perl modules ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages perl recommends: ii netbase 4.45 Basic TCP/IP networking system Versions of packages perl suggests: pn libterm-readline-gnu-p <none> (no description available) ii make 3.81-8.2 An utility for Directing compilati ii perl-doc 5.10.1-17squeeze5 Perl documentation -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
