Bug #84635 for Tcl: Permission problems in tarball

Sun Apr 14 17:17:03 2013 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Permission problems in tarball

The distribution cannot be extracted on (some) Unix systems. In the CPAN shell I see the following: Running make for V/VK/VKON/Tcl-1.02_50.tar.gz CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.84) CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.06) Checksum for /usr/local/src/CPAN/sources/authors/id/V/VK/VKON/Tcl-1.02_50.tar.gz ok CPAN: Archive::Tar loaded ok (v1.90) CPAN: File::Temp loaded ok (v0.23) Couldn't opendir 'Tcl-1.02_50', mode '40000': Permission denied Couldn't opendir 'Tcl-1.02_50', mode '40000': Permission denied, won't make Running make test Make had some problems, won't test The mode should be something like 755. Regards, Slaven

I was able to reproduce this issue by downloading the tarball from cpan.org. However Tcl-1.02_50 is actually a development release of the Tcl distribution (1.02 is the current latest release), hence you should try installing 1.02 instead. By the way, what was the command you used to install the distribution? Also, what Unix system was it you were trying to install the distribution? Regards, Paul

I think my smokers stumbled over this problem. So this would be freebsd systems (probably 9.2) and linux/debian systems (probably wheezy at this time). The smoker is basically doing a perl -MCPAN -e "test $distribution". Anyway, even the metacpan page for the distribution is basically empty, probably because of the same problem: https://metacpan.org/release/VKON/Tcl-1.02_50
