There is an non-issue very similar you can get if the distro updates these files to something newer than cpan. I had an old copy of Compress::Base::Common version (2.015) in /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/IO/Compress/Base/Common.pm that I aparently installed (guessing here).
## A quick test to see if your affected by the issue $ perl -MCompress::Zlib -e1 IO::Compress::Base::Common version 2.02 required--this is only version 2.015 at t line 11. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/Compress/Zlib.pm line 11. Compilation failed in require. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. Deleting /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/IO/Compress/Base/Common.pm fixed this like-issue. (not the same one but it can return similar errors) -- Confusing conflicts with CPAN and core perl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394481 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
