16:34	owen	Hi kados
16:35	kados	owen++
16:44	thd	good morning kados
16:44	kados	morning thd
16:45	thd	kados: there are serious problems installing a Perl module for Koha on Debian
16:47	thd	kados: PDF::Reuse::Barcode requires Barcode::Code128 which fails tests after make
16:47	thd	kados I even tried older versions and they all fail tests
16:50	kados	hmmm
16:53	kados	thd: you used the cpan module or the debian package?
16:53	thd	kados: I could not find the Debian packages whâ€Žslef built
16:54	kados	thd: what you want is:
16:54	kados	apt-get install libpdf-reuse-barcode-perl
16:55	kados	that will handle all the dependencies for you
16:55	thd	kados: I tried all the CPAN versions
16:55	kados	don't use CPAN
16:55	kados	use the debian packages
16:55	kados	remove all the CPAN versions
16:57	thd	kados: I could not install any CPAN versions unless I chose to install after a failed make test
16:58	kados	thd: wget http://kados.org/stuff/remove_perlmod.pl
16:58	kados	thd: chmod 755 remove_perlmod.pl
16:58	kados	./remove_perlmod.pl PDF::Reuse::Barcode
16:59	thd	kados: It is not installed
16:59	thd	and never was on my system
17:00	thd	kados: However I do not have libpdf-reuse-barcode-perl as an available package
17:01	thd	kados: Where did yours come from?
17:01	kados	maybe try google and/or backports?
17:01	kados	I just looked on google :-)
17:01	thd	:)
17:06	thd	kados: I see it on Google in testing and unstable but it is not in backports which or I would have it and I just updated my package lists
17:09	thd	kados: does slef not have some packages which he built from unstable?
17:10	thd	kados: I have this well documented problem which has plagued several versions of Barcode::Code128 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group[…]07/msg544810.html
17:11	kados	thd: you'll have to ask slef
17:11	thd	:)
17:12	kados	thd: remember that I haven't instlaled Koha in over a year ;-)
17:12	kados	well, I haven't installed dependencies on koha
17:12	thd	kados: I assumed that you would know the source of your installed package :)
17:14	kados	you assumed incorrectly :-)
17:24	kados	fbcit-away: you around?
17:28	kados	paul or hdl here?
17:40	thd	kados: I finally found it. I knew I had it somewhere. ;) http://serene.ttllp.co.uk/~mjr/
17:45	kados	cool
17:56	thd	kados: given the problems maybe those Debian packages should be noted in the README.txt
18:33	kados	thd: good idea
18:33	kados	thd: did you finally get them working?
18:35	thd	kados: I did not have time to test because I am preparing for French class but I will find out tonight
18:36	thd	I would have had more sleep if I had found that page last night :)
02:08	kados	thd: you around?
