| Subject: | Fails to install through CPAN under Ubuntu with mod_perl2 |
I am running Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS - a clean server installation with
standard perl 5.10.1 plus the following additional packages installed:
apache2 2.2.14
apache2-threaded-dev 2.2.14
libapache2-mod-perl2 2.0.4
libapache2-mod-perl2-dev 2.0.4
libyaml-perl 0.71
build-essential
An attempt to install Apache2::AuthCookie via CPAN fails (transcript
below). As far as I can tell, it falls over because Apache2::AuthCookie
depends on Apache::Constants and Apache::Util, and both of those are
provided by mod_perl (v1). So off it goes and tries to install mod-perl-
1.31, which it can't do because there's no apache1 in the system. In
fact Ubuntu seems to have dropped all apache 1.x packages.
Now, I believe Apache2::AuthCookie should work with mod_perl 2, because
there is a README.modperl2:
"**** NOTICE: Version 3.07 is incompatible with previous releases. ***
As of release 3.07, you must be running mod_perl 2.0.0 RC5 or later.
Please
note that in mod_perl 2.0.0 RC5 many packages were reneamed. See the
mod_perl
documentation for updating your code for 2.0.0 RC5."
As far as I can tell, Apache::Util and Apache::Constants are only used
by Apache::AuthCookie, not Apache2::AuthCookie. Furthermore, if I
install Apache2::AuthCookie the old manual way it works fine. So I
really want a way to tell CPAN to install *only* the Apache2::xxx code
and not Apache:xxx.
I know very little about CPAN internals, so I can't suggest anything
other than splitting Apache2-AuthCookie into a separate package.
Regards, Brian.
P.S. The end goal here is a clean install of Netdot
(netdot.uoregon.edu), which has Apache2::AuthCookie and
Apache2::SiteControl as dependencies.
