MailScanner 4.78 install Perl module deletion issue

Tue Oct 6 23:02:49 IST 2009

I upgraded MS from version 4.75.11 to 4.78.17-1 on 4 separate servers.
Each time I ran the install (install.sh), I got errors - example: 'Can't
locate Getopt/Long.pm'.

I had to restore the files in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8.  When I re-ran the
install.sh script, the install, it only removed perl-TimeDate, and
continued on without error.

Just wanted to let you know, in case someone else has the same problem.

I made a backup of the perl files before the install:

	cd /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8
	tar cvf files.tar *

Here's the top of the first install.log showing the problem of missing
Perl modules:

If this fails due to dependency checks, and you wish to ignore
these problems, you can run
    ./install.sh nodeps

Setting Perl5 search path

I think your system will build architecture-dependent modules for i386

Deleting all the old versions of the Perl modules I built,
I will re-install them in a minute.

Rebuilding all the Perl RPMs for your version of Perl

Oh good, module File-Spec version 0.82 is already installed.
