Package: libextutils-autoinstall-perl
Version: 0.59-1
Severity: minor
While trying to install some package from cpan i got the following error
message:
You are not allowed to write to the directory '/home/iw/.cpan/sources'
the installation may fail due to insufficient permissions.
But: /home/iw/.cpan/sources is writable. This change solved it for me:
diff /usr/share/perl5/ExtUtils/AutoInstall.pm
/usr/share/perl5/ExtUtils/AutoInstall.pm.orig
786c786
< *** You are not allowed to write to the directory '$path' or
