Subject: cpan: can't untar distribution on Solaris + missing file
Hi there, on $ uname -a SunOS kappa1 5.10 Generic_118833-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490 $ perl -v This is perl, v5.8.7 built for sun4-solaris got a small installation problem: cpan[2]> install RT::Extension::MandatorySubject ... tar: ././@LongLink: typeflag 'L' not recognized, converting to regular file x ././@LongLink, 104 bytes, 1 tape blocks ... Couldn't untar RT-Extension-MandatorySubject-0.03.tar Indeed it works manually, though untar complains the same. Moreover: $ perl Makefile.PL ... Checking if your kit is complete... Warning: the following files are missing in your kit: html/Callbacks/MandatorySubject/SelfService/Create.html /BeforeCreate Please inform the author. Writing Makefile for RT::Extension::MandatorySubject Is it safe to use? Thanks! ^m'e

curious, I cannot reproduce this here (Debian Lenny): ~/RT-Extension-MandatorySubject-0.03$ perl Makefile.PL Cannot determine perl version info from lib/RT/Extension/MandatorySubject.pm WARNING: 'All rights reserved' in copyright may invalidate Open Source license. Cannot find the location of RT.pm that defines $RT::LocalPath in: inc /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl . /opt/rt3/lib /opt/lib/rt3 /opt/lib /usr/local/rt3/lib /usr/local/lib/rt3 /usr/local/lib /home/rt3/lib /home/lib/rt3 /home/lib /usr/rt3/lib /usr/lib/rt3 /usr/lib /sw/rt3/lib /sw/lib/rt3 /sw/lib Path to your RT.pm: /home/rt/rt Using RT configuration from /home/rt/rt/lib/RT.pm: ./html => /home/rt/rt/local/plugins/RT-Extension-MandatorySubject/html ./lib => /home/rt/rt/local/plugins/RT-Extension-MandatorySubject/lib Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for RT::Extension::MandatorySubject And indeed, when you get RT-Extension-MandatorySubject-0.03.tar.gz from search.cpan.org and you untar it, all files indicated in MANIFEST are here. Try to download the tar.gz again maybe and make sure you are using gnu tar.
Ouch, of course on Solaris tar is not the GNU's one. All fine with "gtar". Sorry for the noise... Cheers, ^m'e
