so far so good. > ls -ld /usr/local/lib/ > drwxr-s--- 5 root staff 4096 Feb 14 20:10 /usr/local/lib/ The permission are wrong. This means that software installed in /usr/local/lib/ are only accessible to root and users in the group staff. This is not an expected configuration. > I'm still irritated why popcon expects perl in /usr/local/ when the > debian stretch package perl-base is installing these files in > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base This has nothing to do with popcon. The issue is that perl search first in /usr/local/lib/ and then in /usr/lib. Since popcon run as nobody by default, perl cannot access /usr/local/lib/ and fail instead of trying the next directory /usr/lib. At least this is how I see it.
