I'd guess not all perl modules were updated by zypper dup yet when %post was executed. Maybe you should avoid to (even indirectly) call perl in %post? Note: I don't know if/how critical this is - I only know it must be something between "annoying error message" and "breaks your system" ;-) I'm also CC'ing Michal, the maintainer of module-init-tools. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
