| Subject: | Test failures due to old File::Next version |
When building ack from CPAN.pm, then the system would detect that an old
File::Next version is installed:
Warning: prerequisite File::Next 0.38 not found. We have 0.32.
However, CPAN.pm does not resolve the prerequisite automatically, as
it usually does for other modules. I see that ack's Makefile.PL has
some rules overriding the standard rules and it seems that this
prevents the automatic prereq installation.
BTW, here's the log of the make test failure:
CPAN: CPAN::Reporter loaded ok (v0.36)
