[SOLVED] I cannot get perl-5.22.0-1 to work.

txtsd · 2015-07-05 00:42:39

I've been having problems since the upgrade. weechat and urxvt won't work, neither will cpan or any perl script because of errors like this

/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/Cwd/Cwd.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck

The scripts over here https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/a … 27236.html generate these results when I run them with the downgraded perl-5.20.1-1, but the .pl script throws errors with I run it with the latest perl.

These are the packages left over that don't upgrade.

At this point, I understand there isn't any more I can do, so I upgrade perl to perl-5.22.0-1 and run cpan but

└─▶ cpan 
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/Cwd/Cwd.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck

This is the first time I'm ever dealing with perl, so pardon my noobness. Help me get this working again, please. I need my urxvt and weechat to not be broken.

Mixing cpan and pacman is a bad idea™…

Remove/rebuild the problematic modules listed in the script outputs (against 5.22).

That's the problem, I can't do anything with 5.22 because it throws errors. 5.22 is basically unusable for me.

Should I remove the two pacman packages? I'm not sure what I should be doing here.

jasonwryan · 2015-07-05 01:40:04

Upgrade to 5.22, run the script from the ML and then remove/rebuild all of the modules that it picks up. That is what everyone else has done...

Okay I finally understood what I was doing wrong.

The only problem file the script says I now have (after running against 5.22) is

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/Compress/Raw/Bzip2/Bzip2.so

What should I do with it?
It's not a pacman package, so I can't pacman -Rn it.
cpan and cpanm don't work so I can't use cpanm to search for and uninstall it.
and running cpan throws this

┌[txtsd@dungeon-of-data]─[~/temp] 
└─▶ cpan
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/Cwd/Cwd.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck

So I'm not sure if I should get rid of this file too, or not.

jasonwryan · 2015-07-05 02:21:38

Pacman doesn't know about it?

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/Compress/Raw/Bzip2/Bzip2.so

In that case, manually remove it.

Ok so, I removed the file and ran the script again to see if it would say another file was being problematic and it did. It said Zlib.so next, so I removed it, and ran the script again, and it showed another file, so I kept doing this until eventually cpan wouldn't even run.

This is clearly not the way to go about things. What can I try next?

jasonwryan · 2015-07-05 03:43:05

Are weechat and urxvt working? Your primary objective should be to ensure that the perl packages installed by pacman are working correctly.

After that you can worry about cpan.

Nope, neither one works yet

EDIT: Also, how come none of the files in the folders in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto belong to any pacman package?
I removed all perl packages and reinstalled them and none of the files disappeared or changed.
Also pacman -Qo doesn't claim them.

How can I completely wipe perl and its family and reinstall it, if this folder is unaffected?

Because you didn't install them with pacman.

Is there a tool that can detect what is installed and register it as pacman packages?

jasonwryan · 2015-07-05 04:45:47

No.

You need to clean it up yourself. First, as I said, get your pacman-installed packages working; then sort out the stuff cpan installed.

You say that like I'll magically know exactly how to do it
I'm a noob at this. I've never done it before. A little hand holding would go a long way!

jasonwryan · 2015-07-05 05:20:14

Run urxvt from another terminal: note the error message. See which package owns the offending file (likely perl-scalar-list-utils), remove it. Repeat until done.

Ok so I removed all files and directories from /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl and that seems to have gotten weechat working.
urxvt still won't launch. Its error doesn't point to a file.

That package does not exist btw.

Nothing. All generated files are empty!

jasonwryan · 2015-07-05 06:26:08

Stop using yaourt: it really isn't helping.

scalar-list-utils is now part of core perl. If the ML script is not producing any conflicts, reinstall perl and urxvt and you should be good to go.

Reinstalling those did the trick! Thank You!

Could you explain why using yaourt is bad? I used to makepkg manually when I first started using Arch, but yaourt has saved me a lot of time and effort since.

jasonwryan · 2015-07-05 06:51:13

You are posting in the pacman thread: yaourt should only be used for the AUR, confusing the two leads to all sorts of unnecessary grief.

Well, yea. But I only searched on the AUR because I couldn't find the package in the pacman repos, and I didn't know about it being merged with the base package. I don't use it recklessly; only for packages that I need that aren't in the official repos.
