| Subject: | 'force install' doesn't actually force unwrapping |
Initial config: CPAN has both external tar and gzip disabled
(configuration manually set to q[ ] because calling `o conf init tar`
and entering a space would set it to q[] instead of q[ ]).
I start up CPAN and try to install a module, in this case
Compress::Zlib. Since I have neither Compress::Zlib nor tar+gzip
available, unwrapping fails. Without closing CPAN, I call `o conf init
tar` and `o conf init gzip`. I run the command `install Compress::Zlib`,
which fails because unwrapping already failed this session. I try `force
install Compress::Zlib`, which fails with the following:
cpan[7]> force install Compress::Zlib
Running install for module 'Compress::Zlib'
Running make for P/PM/PMQS/IO-Compress-2.020.tar.gz
Unwrapping had some problem, won't try again without force
Had problems unarchiving. Please build manually
Running make test
Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, won't install
However, `force get Compress::Zlib` then succeeds.
