Bug #82683 for App-cpanminus: perhaps you forgot to load "Module::Metadata::Version"

Subject:

perhaps you forgot to load "Module::Metadata::Version"

After some discussion on the Setup-File-Symlink queue, at: #82530: perhaps you forgot to load "Module::Metadata::Version" Steven Haryanto suggested that this issue actually lies with cpanm. So I'm opening this ticket in this queue instead. Any thoughts? (my CI server) $ cpanm --version cpanm (App::cpanminus) version 1.5018 (my desktop sandbox) $ cpanm --version cpanm (App::cpanminus) version 1.0012 Don't remember how I installed this, nor which installation I encountered this issue on. I see my local sandbox runs an ancient version. apt-cache search (notoriously out of sync with bleeding edge does not know about cpanm or about App::cpanminus, so I doubt it was from the debian repositories. I'll look at updating my local sandbox copy and try again. In the mean time if you have any thoughts, would surely appreciate hearing about them. Thanks for your work. A very nice tool, indeed. -- Hugh Esco cpan: HESCO

These just may be those edge cases you warn about in the perldoc. The error message which started this conversation is on the linked ticket in the Setup-File-Symlink queue. Just posted the erros thrown after updating the cpanm version using --self-update. -- Hugh Esco

Run cpanm --version after the upgrade to see if it was actually updating it because it sounds like you are using stale version from rpm or whatever which doesn't update with the self upgrade command. Also, when you report problems like this, upload the full .cpanm/build.log on some nopaste site rather than snipping it because it's useless.

If your cpanm doesn't get updated with the self-upgrade, uninstall the one you have with the rpm and install it with the self install command. On Sun, Jan 13, 2013 at 9:51 PM, Tatsuhiko Miyagawa <miyagawa@gmail.com> wrote: Show quoted text

Answer what question? I asked to run it with --version to see your cpanm is actually loaded from the right place. I suspected that you have a stale broken version installed with rpm that doesn't get updated. In such case uninstall it and start over. Show quoted text

It's not useful if you have a broken version installed or configured wrongly. -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa

You had earlier asked me 'What exactly is the problem?' but to respond to your other question: $ cpanm --version cpanm (App::cpanminus) version 1.5019 This is a debian installation, no RPMs involved (unless installed with alien). I was unable to find cpanm with apt-cache search, and so assume I installed it from cpan. cpanm --self-update worked like a charm. This proved to be a false alarm. Again, my apologies for bothering you with this. Following the advice from your error messages permitted me to resolve the issues I encountered. Again, thanks, for a fine and useful tool. -- Hugh Esco

Looking at your log again, cpanm is still failing with the test (but install anyway with your --force option), and that doesn't look like what i describe as "worked like a charm". What is the actual test error that you're seeing? I can't tell it from the command output you're pasting. It's written in the .cpanm/build.log. You should paste it as it is, instead of snipping what you think is important. And I can help with that. -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa

Hm, ok, it looked like the command is still emitting the errors after the upgrade so i was confused! If the update fixes the problem, that's good :)
