[AMaViS-user] A misfeature in libnet-1.20 (Net::Cmd, Net::SMTP)

[Mark Martinec]

The Perl module 'libnet' (implementing Net::SMTP, Net::Cmd)
has recently been upgraded from 1.19 to 1.20
(also known as port net/p5-Net in FreeBSD ports collection).

It unwarrantedly attempts to convert 8-bit characters
to UTF-8 without considering a declared MIME type.

See a bug report in CPAN:
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=24835

Please stay away from libnet-1.20 until the problem
is fixed, or apply the following simple patch to one
of its files:

return 0 unless defined(fileno($cmd));

Hi

applying this patch (copy-pasted from the post to a file) with:

cd /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5
patch -p0 < /root/patchfile

gives me this message:

Hunk #1 FAILED at 22.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file Net/Cmd.pm.rej
missing header for unified diff at line 11 of patch
(Patch is indented 1 space.)
can't find file to patch at input line 11
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
| @ISA = qw(Exporter);
--------------------------
File to patch:

Am I doing something wrong here? (using CentOS 4.4)

Soleved it by removing the lines manually from the Cmd.pm file. But I
still cannot see why the patch didn't work :(
