[Bug 29642] New: About page marks several Perl modules as missing
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29642 Bug ID: 29642 Summary: About page marks several Perl modules as missing Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 21.05 Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 - low Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: egpetridis@yahoo.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org I notice that in the "Perl modules" tab at /cgi-bin/koha/about.pl some modules appear as missing, namely Text::CSV::Unicode (0.40) Not Installed Selenium::Remote::Driver (1.27) Not Installed Test::DBIx::Class (0.42) Not Installed HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench (0.73) Not Installed Locale::XGettext::TT2 (0.7) Not Installed As my installation is a vanilla one (koha-common on Debian), I wonder if they should have been installed by default. For example, I see in https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/commit/f180314f58c57ce0c6... that "Selenium::Remote::Driver (1.27)" should have been included in the dependencies list years ago. Another example: Locale::XGettext::TT2 (0.7) is mentioned in https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/commit/3cfc2ec7bd1becef43... as "new dependency" two years ago, yet it is absent from my installation, despite several upgrades since.

I notice that in the "Perl modules" tab at /cgi-bin/koha/about.pl some modules appear as missing, namely
a small update... the dev version 21.12.00.018 (currently in master branch) now shows all modules as installed these packages will probably be added to the stable apt repo -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

If you have commandline access, you may use 'koha_perl_deps.pl -m' :
https://git.koha-community.org/Koha-community/Koha/src/branch/master/ koha_perl_deps.pl

the missing modules have not yet been added to the 'koha' apt repository they will probably be added for the 22.05 release, in May -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29642 --- Comment #12 from Manos PETRIDIS <egpetridis@yahoo.com> --- It depends Katrin on the expected audience of the page. If it is meant for programmer use during debugging, then yes the bug report may well be closed. If on the other hand it is meant to be (or can be) checked by other IT and/or administrative personnel that have no knowledge of the use in koha of each module mentioned on it, some note or differentiation should be made for them to know that these specific modules need not exist in a production koha system. As it now stands, one is alerted that something's missing from their koha installation, and the sane thing to do is for them to try and rectify this before opening any new bug report, for they don't/cannot know if the malfunction they wish to report is due to the missing modules or not.
