I'll update dpkg then, 1.16.4.3 no longer requires file-fcntllock-pm, he will use it if it's around but has a fallback in place. I really honestly don't understand the current state of perlmods in fink, it's a very complex and IMHO mess of a system that I really don't like, file-fcntllock-pm can just get removed if that is okay I really have no desire to package any perlmods at all, I only did it so that fink could update 10 year old toolsets. --- TS http://www.southofheaven.org/ Life begins and ends with chaos, live between the chaos!

Compiled code makes the module intimately and specifically tied to the perl version that compiled it, so it's potentially nonportable to other perl-versions (which is why our policy explicitly forbids doing it). > Note that the last time we had fink (core) dependencies on perl-versioned things, it led to 5 years of support headaches and really isn't a tenable situation if fink itself is going to continue to use system-perl. > dan > > -- > Daniel Macks > [email protected] > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
