[SOLVED] git svn not working, possible Perl issue

I just tried using git-svn to clone a remote svn repository and keep getting an error. The command I use is:

git svn clone <repo url> <dir name>

and the error I get is:

/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr
git: 'svn' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Did you mean this?
    svn

Anyone else having this error or know a possible solution?

Re: [SOLVED] git svn not working, possible Perl issue

it looks like you forgot a dash, try this :

git-svn clone <repo url> <dir name>

AFAIK the dash is optional.

Re: [SOLVED] git svn not working, possible Perl issue

I'm getting a different Perl-related error from git-svn:

$ git svn rebase
Bizarre copy of UNKNOWN in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/SVN/Base.pm line 80.

Edit:

There's a bug filed for this issue here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24540

Downgrading subversion, git, and perl to their previous versions is a temporary workaround that's working for me.

Re: [SOLVED] git svn not working, possible Perl issue

I updated the Perl CPAN using:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e upgrade

I had previously installed SVN::Core from CPAN, which might be unnecessary. But I did need to install Perl ReadKey (perl-term-readkey from extra). Marking this issue fixed.
