perl modules that conflict with built-in perl5.8 modules

[tommyd@…]

If I try to activate p5-cgi, I get

Error: port activate failed: Image error: /opt/local/share/man/man3/CGI.3pm.gz is being used by the active perl5.8 port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

Of course, forcing the action succeeds.

If you have perl5.8 @5.8.8 installed, p5-cgi installs just fine. If you have perl5.8 @5.8.9 installed, it already includes CGI.pm 3.42. If there is another port that requires p5-cgi, that may need to be modified, or perhaps modify p5-cgi so that it doesn't conflict with the files installed by perl5.8 @5.8.9.

Not sure what is the best way to handle this. Looks like these are the ones that depend on it. I maintain 3 out of the 7. I would think removing the 5-5 dependency from the ports would be the way to go. It would cause problems for people with perl5.8.8 that try to install them, but I suspect people who have not used those ports yet for the most part will be on 5.8.9 before installing them now anyway.

If that sounds acceptable I can modify my ports and make tickets on the others.

Oops, forgot to post the list of ports, and there are only 5 of them. Mine are the top 3.

mail/sympa/Portfile: port:p5-cgi \ net/monarch/Portfile: port:p5-cgi \ net/smokeping/Portfile: port:p5-cgi \

devel/bugzilla/Portfile: port:p5-cgi \ www/ikiwiki/Portfile:depends_lib-append port:p5-cgi \

Seems to make sense to me.

[markd@…]

But are there more built-ins that conflict than p5-cgi? How can we check? I'm getting this now with 5.8.9.

---> Activating p5-digest @1.15_0 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/man/man3/Digest.3pm.gz is being used by the active perl5.8 port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation. Warning: the following items did not execute (for p5-digest): org.macports.activate

[markd@…]

And this:

---> Activating p5-net @1.22_0 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/man/man3/Net::Cmd.3pm.gz is being used by the active perl5.8 port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

And this:

---> Activating p5-time-hires @1.9719_0 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/man/man3/Time::HiRes.3pm.gz is being used by the active perl5.8 port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation.

Indeed, something I was thinking might be a problem. Looking at the perl5.10 port, it (port 5.10) installs its man pages with '-5.10' appended to the name of the file. The same change could be applied to perl5.8 to avoid these conflicts. While I'd rather find a better solution (I haven't yet), any reason to not make such a change to perl5.8? I can see a problem for people trying to find a man page for, say, CGI and not knowing they need to do 'man CGI-5.8' (or CGI-5.10 in the case of perl5.10), beyond that... ?

Replying to markd@…:

Yeah, that's #12710.

Since perl 5.8.9 provides CGI.pm with the same version as p5-cgi, isn't the easiest solution to simply remove p5-cgi as a dependency
as was done with p5-mime-base64 (r47646)?

[markd@…]

Yes. I removed p5-cgi and p5-net from all ports since mine were most of them. Could someone look into p5-digest, p5-time-hires and any remaining ones that conflict?

I 'm not sure if this the correct area to post issue but believe my error with sudo port install kohadeps applies - one apparently due to a missing port -- Error: Port p5-cgi-session-yaml not found
