Guest Faern Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi, I'm having some issues with 10.0 Official. Whenever I used CPAN to update some perl modules, I return to CLI and URPMI no longer runs. With one system it complains about @INC, so I have tried many things including regressing Perl, and also sym linking the Perl libs. No luck. With the other server it just complains about "Out of Memory!" and dies back to command line. Both systems are similar 586 arch, and the identical systems have 0 issues running Gentoo. I'm a BIG MDK fan, but if the rpm manager is broken when using newer versions of Perl, I simply cannot use it. Here is the error / diag info: [root@itgbs root]# cat /etc/mandrake-release Mandrake Linux release 10.0 (Official) for i586 [root@itgbs root]# perl -v This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i386-linux-thread-multi (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2004, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit.

scarecrow Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I guess your Perl installation is borked (happened to me a couple of times in the past, always with Mandrake), and the easiest way out in Mandriva is reinstalling (fixing perl is a huge pain in the...). Anyway, before doing that, what happens if you ask as root urpmi --help "No takers" because Mandy 10.0 is really old... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Faern Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Well Linux is Linux, the kernel is pretty immaterial at this point. If you look at my message, I have re-installed and/or regressed perl. Re-installation of the whole box really isn't much of an option on a production server. urpmi --help works normally I'll keep looking, and appreciate the help.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 This is a difficult problem to solve without sitting at the box. My suggestion would be to start with manually downloading urpmi and/or perl-URPM and reinstalling them with rpm -ivh --replacefiles --replacepkgs <<pkg>> or if that doesn't work, try installing a new URPM module with cpan.
