Due to a number of build problems with perl, we have issued a new set of rpms that no longer have strange provide/require items ... See https://bugzilla.caosity.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519 for details. The updated rpms are :- updates/i386/RPMS/perl-5.8.0-88.4.0.i386.rpm updates/i386/RPMS/perl-CGI-2.81-88.4.0.i386.rpm updates/i386/RPMS/perl-CPAN-1.61-88.4.0.i386.rpm updates/i386/RPMS/perl-DB_File-1.804-88.4.0.i386.rpm addons/i386/RPMS/perl-suidperl-5.8.0-88.4.0.i386.rpm updates/i386/SRPMS/perl-5.8.0-88.4.0.src.rpm To update to this new version 'yum update perl' should be sufficient. These new rpms will be rolled in to a new set of iso images once a bit more time has been allowed to see if any other bugs surface.
