| Subject: | CPANPLUS metadata not cached due to permissions issue |
I waited about 15 minutes for scandeps.pl to slowly go through the
process of working with CPANPLUS to get up-to-date metadata. It
eventually ended with a message like this:
"/usr/src/.cpanplus/packages.2.04.stored not writable; skipped."
I wasn't running scandeps.pl as root, and don't feel that I should need to.
scandeps.pl should have an alternate strategy for handling the cache
data or interacting with the CPANPLUS configuration if it can't write
to the usual ".cpanplus" directory.
If ScanDeps needs an alternate CPANPLUS profile, that seems like
something it should take care of itself.
