Bug#689476: : No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Pristine/Tar/Formats.pm line 65

Package: dh-make-perl
Severity: normal

I am trying to prepare the debian package for:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/refdb/files/refdb-perlmod/RefDB-perlmod-1.2/RefDB-perlmod-1.2.tar.gz

When running the command it fails with:

$ dh-make-perl

CPAN.pm requires configuration, but most of it can be done automatically.
If you answer 'no' below, you will enter an interactive dialog for each
configuration option instead.

Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically? [yes]

<install_help>

Warning: You do not have write permission for Perl library directories.

To install modules, you need to configure a local Perl library directory or
escalate your privileges. CPAN can help you by bootstrapping the local::lib
module or by configuring itself to use 'sudo' (if available). You may also
resolve this problem manually if you need to customize your setup.

What approach do you want? (Choose 'local::lib', 'sudo' or 'manual')
[local::lib]

Autoconfigured everything but 'urllist'.

Now you need to choose your CPAN mirror sites. You can let me
pick mirrors for you, you can select them from a list or you
can enter them by hand.

Would you like me to automatically choose some CPAN mirror
sites for you? (This means connecting to the Internet) [yes]

local::lib is installed. You must now add the following environment variables
to your shell configuration files (or registry, if you are on Windows) and
then restart your command line shell and CPAN before installing modules:

Is this the whole command line? In which directory was it run?

I've never had CPAN configured to use local::lib, so this may have
some side effects.

Or, maybe no tarball was given so none is found and a bug needs to be
fixed.

Hi !

Thanks for the quick answer.

Full steps:

$ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/refdb/files/refdb-perlmod/RefDB-perlmod-1.2/RefDB-perlmod-1.2.tar.gz
$ tar xfz RefDB-perlmod-1.2.tar.gz

Sorry first perl package ever. I used the default option.

Maybe I missed something from the documentation...

Thanks anyway.

Right, but I still consider CPAN.pm (on Debian) dowloading and
installing upstream local::lib -- separately from the packaging
system -- as a not really brilliant option.
(I don't want to imagine the amounts of bug reports due to local::lib
setting up directories and environment variables on its own.)

> That may mean that dh-make-perl needs changes anyway?

As far as I could see in the bug report, the problem in dh-make-perl
is only related to git repos and tarballs; that the output included
the cpan/local::lib setup was IMO purely accidental.


Cheers,
gregor
