  Maintainer: David Engel <david@ods.com>
  Version: 5.2.7
  Revision: 1
  Depends: ldso (>1.7.4-1)

  diannau% locate libm.so

Somehow, elf-libc is installed but libm.so.5 is not.  After
reinstalling elf-libc and reinstalling perl, all is well.  I have no
idea how the problem occured.  It's been a few weeks since I first
installed elf-libc.

This is obviously not a perl problem.  Please close this bug report.
Thanks.

I'm using elf-libc-5.2.7-1.  Should the linker accept libm.so.5.0.3
as a match when it is searching for libm.so.5?  I'm at work now.
I'll double check this tonight.  Perhaps there was a problem when I
installed elf-libc.

Subject: elf perl depends on non-existent library

Package: perl
Version: 5.001-5.elf

The new elf perl package depends on version 5 of the math library.
However, as far as I can tell, version 5 has not been released yet (as
a debian package).

   Preparing to replace perl (using perl-5.001-5.elf.deb) ...
   Unpacking replacement perl ...
   Setting up perl ...
   Creating Perl header files.  This may take a while...
   perl: can't load library 'libm.so.5'
   perl: can't load library 'libm.so.5'
   perl: can't load library 'libm.so.5'
   fgrep: wait.ph: No such file or directory
   Found       0 occurances of '* &' where I expected 1.
   Please report this as a bug to Carl Streeter <streeter@cae.wisc.edu>.
   Done.
   You can re-run this script at any time as 'perlconfig'.
   You should do this any time you install new header files
   in /usr/include.
