Bug #26570 for CPANPLUS: cpanplus error

This is a warning from File::Find, not a CPANPLUS error. It seems to indicate that you have multiple symlinks to the same inode or some such. Here's the bit of code from File::Find: ($DEV, $INO)= lstat $AbsName; while (-l _) { if ($SLnkSeen{$DEV, $INO}++) { if ($follow_skip < 2) { die "$AbsName is encountered a second time"; } else { return undef; } } ... And this error is explained by: "follow_skip" "follow_skip==1", which is the default, causes all files which are neither directories nor symbolic links to be ignored if they are about to be processed a second time. If a directory or a symbolic link are about to be processed a second time, File::Find dies. we could arguably set follow_skip==2, but the real question is -- why is the setup like this that File::Find raises a critical error? -- Jos Boumans "Cocaine is God's way of telling you you make too much money" CPANPLUS http://cpanplus.sf.net

I am forwarding it to the maintainer of File::Find. Thank you. Show quoted text

As you can see from the list of my original post, I asked that very question to the involved modules. I forgot File::Find, but recovered later. All I can say is, that I got an error, and that my machine, for the rest is perfectly fine. There is more to it. I uninstalled Alien::wxWidgets via cpanplus, it now says that the module is no longer available, but I still get this message: CPAN Terminal> o [ERROR] /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Alien/wxWidgets/mac_2_8_3/lib/libwx_base_carbon-2.8.0.dylib is encountered a second time at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/File/Find.pm line 535. Then I deleted by hand /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Alien with all its subdirectories. Of course, the cpanplus error no longer appears, as I have now deleted it the module. So, the error has nothing to do with cpanplus, nor with File::Find. All the best, BH Show quoted text
