680079 - Installing Net::SMTP::SSL with install-module.pl fails

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Bugzilla :: Installation & Upgrading, defect)

Description

[Teemu Mannermaa (:wicked)]

When using install-module.pl to install Net::SMTP::SSL we end up with broken installation because required module IO::Socket::SSL doesn't get installed. Broken as in, checksetup.pl still says it's not installed.

Here's a transcript of what happened on our tinderbox server:

So clearly it detects the requirement but doesn't install it like it usually does. We should either add IO::Socket::SSL as direct requirement or report to Net::SMTP::SSL maintainer to fix his/hers packaging.. (I hear there's no such maintainer, though?)

Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your installation on landfill (maybe a too old CPAN.pm)? I installed Net::SMTP::SSL using install-module.pl on Perl 5.14.1, and it installed its dependencies correctly.

# perl -MIO::Socket::SSL -wE 'say $IO::Socket::SSL::VERSION'
1.44

Hum, I tried on landfill with Perl 5.12.3, and there is something indeed wrong. But the problem is not IO::Socket::SSL. The problem is Net::SSLeay.

I take that back. That was just a warning message when compiling the module, but everything works fine:

 #perl5.12.3 -Mlib=lib -MNet::SSLeay -wE 'say $Net::SSLeay::VERSION'
 1.36

 #perl5.12.3 -Mlib=lib -MNet::SMTP::SSL -wE 'say $Net::SMTP::SSL::VERSION'
 1.01

If it's too old then than definitely something install-module.pl should take care of since it specifically checks for that. :) BTW, this was on cg-bugs01 and not landfill.. It's the perl5.10.0 tip install.

For reference, this is what CPAN related checks are saying on that install:
Checking for                 CPAN (v1.81)     ok: found v1.92
Checking for                 YAML (any)       ok: found v0.71
Checking for   ExtUtils-MakeMaker (v6.31)     ok: found v6.59

Here's a test run after just installing latest CPAN (and nothing else).

Result is the same but this time there's one a hint that this has something to do with package metadata. Clearly that "other method" doesn't work for this module. :(

install-module.pl is gone.
