Hi everyone,
I have a problem with perl-5.8.8_1. When I install it from the ports
(via make install clean or make package-recursive clean), it creates
symlinks from /usr/local/bin/perl to /usr/bin/perl:
[...]
Removing stale symlinks from /usr/bin...
Skipping /usr/bin/perl
Skipping /usr/bin/perl5
Done.
Creating various symlinks in /usr/bin...
Symlinking /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8 to /usr/bin/perl
Symlinking /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8 to /usr/bin/perl5
Done.
[...]
But, when I install the package created with 'make package-recursive
clean', it didn't create those symlinks. So, the dependencies that rely
on perl and expect to find it in /usr/bin/perl can't find it and the
installation fails.
Did someone have any information on this issue?
Thanks for the support,
Martin
