[opensuse] kde3: 13.1 KSIRC broken
I just replaced 11.4 with 13.1. Now KSIRC instead of auto-connecting properly displays this in the output window: [03:48:20] Your perl interpreter is *really* screwed up: the getopts.pl library is not [03:48:20] even there! Have you even bothered to run 'install'? Is it possible some perl package didn't get installed that KSIRC depends on? I have 47 as wc result from package query for perl. What "install" could it be referring to? ******** All the above I sent to KDE3 list a week ago, with no response. I stabbed at it since, installing both gnu-getopt and perl-Getopt-Mixed without effect. Can anyone here translate that interpreter message into some kind of help to get this app working? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Did you install libio-socket-ssl-perl ? -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

How would anyone know if it's needed? Where does it come from? # zypper se -s libio-socket-ssl-perl Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...

Well, I can't be sure that is the package you need, but the web page for KSirc said it needed that, but may only for ssl connections. Perl is needed as well, but I assume that was installed. Perl is an odd duck, and many of the perl packages are installed right inside perl itself. http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=perl-IO-Socket-SSL Its a no-arch package because, well, its Perl. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Is that http://www.irc.org/ftp/irc/clients/perl/ksirc/README or somewhere else? Maybe there's some difference between what it needs in KDE3 vs. KDE4?

That one is among the 60 already installed perl* packages, plus yast2-perl-bindings. :-p -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

It's a bug in ksirc. $ rpm -qf /usr/lib/perl5/5.14.2/getopts.pl perl-5.14.2-9.1.x86_64 $ head -1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.14.2/getopts.pl warn "Legacy library @{[(caller(0))[6]]} will be removed from the Perl core distribution in the next major release. Please install it from the CPAN distribution Perl4::CoreLibs. It is being used at @{[(caller)[1]]}, line @{[(caller)[2]]}.\n"; ==== man perl5110delta (perl 5.10.0 was released 18-Dec-2007) ==== Deprecated numerous Perl 4-era libraries: termcap.pl, tainted.pl, stat.pl, shellwords.pl, pwd.pl, open3.pl, open2.pl, newgetopt.pl, look.pl, find.pl, finddepth.pl, importenv.pl, hostname.pl, getopts.pl, getopt.pl, getcwd.pl, flush.pl, fastcwd.pl, exceptions.pl, ctime.pl, complete.pl, cacheout.pl, bigrat.pl, bigint.pl, bigfloat.pl, assert.pl, abbrev.pl, dotsh.pl, and timelocal.pl are all now deprecated. Using them will incur a warning. ==== man perl5120delta (perl 5.12.0 was released 13-Apr-2010) ==== Numerous Perl 4-era libraries termcap.pl, tainted.pl, stat.pl, shellwords.pl, pwd.pl, open3.pl, open2.pl, newgetopt.pl, look.pl, find.pl, finddepth.pl, importenv.pl, hostname.pl, getopts.pl, getopt.pl, getcwd.pl, flush.pl, fastcwd.pl, exceptions.pl, ctime.pl, complete.pl, cacheout.pl, bigrat.pl, bigint.pl, bigfloat.pl, assert.pl, abbrev.pl, dotsh.pl, and timelocal.pl are all now deprecated. Earlier, Perl's developers intended to remove these libraries from Perl's core for the 5.14.0 release. During final testing before the release of 5.12.0, several developers discovered current production code using these ancient libraries, some inside the Perl core itself. Accordingly, the pumpking granted them a stay of execution. They will begin to warn about their deprecation in the 5.14.0 release and will be removed in the 5.16.0 release. ==== So, install Perl4::CoreLibs as per the warning, and file a bug for ksirc that it should use the Getopt* libs instead of that ancient getopts.pl and it's been almost 5 years that getopts.pl emits the warning! Anyway ksirc/dsirc is unmaintained, dsirc, which is where the problem is, is from 2005!
