(If includes doesn't provide enough for perl to work with then this is a bug in includes instead.) Roll on virtual packages...

If you are going to install the "C" compiler or other development software, you should install the "includes" package, or the "source" package, but not both. class: standard `Available' version of package includes, where different: # dpkg --status perl Package: perl Status: install hold installed version: 5.001 package_revision: 3 maintainer: Carl Streeter description: An interpreted scripting language class: standard `Available' version of package perl, where different: # perlconfig You don't seem to have a kernel source tree. This will prevent much of the functionality involving Perl header (.ph) files from working properly. You can get this by installing the 'source' debian package or installing it yourself. Once you have done this, you can re-run this script as 'perlconfig' as root. # Script done on Fri Aug 4 18:18:34 1995 ttfn/rjk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: Richard Kettlewell Subject: Bug#1201: Acknowledgement (was: perl doesn't know about includes) In-Reply-To: References: Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
