What happened to perl's strict.pm?
I've been testing the upgrade path from bo to hamm on a spare system
(in preparation to upgrading my main system). As I don't have a
permanent connection (dialup only), I'm only downloading what I need.
It's amazing what interconnected dependencies there are! :-)
Anyway, basically it all went OK except when xaw3dg is configured:
here the following message is given:
---snip-snip----------------------------------------------------------
Setting up xaw3dg (1.3-6.1) ...
Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/xaw-wrappers/ /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00402 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/Getopt/Long.pm line 523.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/update-xaw-wrappers line 57.
dpkg: error processing xaw3dg (--install):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
---snip-snip----------------------------------------------------------
Investigation shows that strict.pm used to be part of the `perl'
package, but now has disappeared. However, Getopt/Long.pm still
references it...
Another thing: I first had perl_5.004.02-1 installed. Replacing this
with perl-base_5.004.04-3 and perl_5.004.04-3 left me with a
/usr/bin/perl which was still the old version, and a
/usr/bin/perl5.00404 which is the new one. Why do I still have the old
binary?
