Subject: CPANPLUS not refetching missing cached items
0 ~$ cpanp CPANPLUS::Shell::Default -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v0.053) *** Please report bugs to <cpanplus-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net>. *** Using CPANPLUS::Backend v0.053. ReadLine support enabled. CPAN Terminal> install Test::Legacy [MSG] Checking if source files are up to date [MSG] Retrieving /var/local/cpanplus/sourcefiles.2.13.stored Installing Test::Legacy [ERROR] File '/Users/schwern/tmp/Foo-Bar/inc/BUNDLES/Test-Legacy-1.2501.tar.gz' has zero size: cannot extract Error installing 'Test::Legacy' Problem installing one or more modules CPAN Terminal> This is the result of a failed Module::Install bundle attempt. CPANPLUS now thinks Test-Legacy has been downloaded into ~/tmp/Foo-Bar/inc/BUNDLES/ which has long since been deleted. CPANPLUS now cannot install Test::Legacy until I go in and delete sourcefiles.stored. Caches have a habit of being deleted. Upon not being able to find cached data, CPANPLUS should simply refetch rather than throw an error.

This is there to prevent loops and detect other things that have gone horribly wrong... if your cache is out of date, re-initializing the cache is the way to go, not ignoring it. -- Jos Boumans "Time is nature's way of making sure all the sh*t doesn't happen at once" CPANPLUS http://cpanplus.sf.net
