Hmm, the referenced bug is about the MSGID_FROM_MTA_SHORT rule? The only hit for perllocal.pod I could find in Bugzilla was bug #1099 and that's only because it contains long snippets of the Makefile. Anyway, I googled around a bit and inferred that perllocal.pod contains a list of locally installed packages. Dunno exactly what mechanism it uses to produce this but I imagine that mixing CPAN with another package management tool without properly integrating this mechanism into $other_pkg_tool would lead to this sort of result. Here's a tangentially related Debian bug report: <http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2000/debian-boot-200009/msg00422.html> My Debian stable system doesn't have this file (Perl 5.6.1-8.2) so I'd guess it's a 5.8.x thing. OTOH I never install directly from CPAN (but use dh-make-perl to create my own .deb from a CPAN module). /* era */ -- The email address era the contact information Just for kicks, imagine at iki dot fi is heavily link on my home page at what it's like to get spam filtered.
