Hi Marc, sorry for the lack of response on this. I'm not seeing this behaviour, and it would be a serious problem for our autobuilders so they aren't either. Does it still happen for you? > But libperl-dev lacks these depencies, so one has to install those manually. The libperl-dev package is only needed for linking against libperl.so itself, its dependencies aren't really related to what ExtUtils::MakeMaker needs. Maybe you mean ExtUtils::Embed? That does list -lcrypt but not -lgdbm here. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
