[Koha-devel] Last Koha development version (from git) mentions missing prerequisites that are already installed

[Ricardo Dias Marques]

Hi list,

I'm updating a local Koha installation from "git" to the last commit
available at this time (commit
8f95ec3dbef2cf9bf214fb2b25587f2bb4ebba15 sent by Owen Leonard,
submitted on 20-Apr-2009, "Fix for Bug 3119: Add due date to the
patron circulation history window").

In order to do this, I did a "git pull". I got the expected many lines
of "Getting index for pack", "got", "walk", "create mode", "delete"...

After doing this, I ran the following command:

myhost:~/mykohaclone # perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log
/root/my-koha-head/misc/koha-install-log


That command produced the expected output, EXCEPT for the last lines
(that have some information that seems correct BUT other info seems
wrong):

Writing Makefile for koha

OK. My setup is a Linux virtual machine, running SLES (SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server) 10 with SP2 (Service Pack 2) installed.

It is true that I had DBD::SQLite v1.11 installed in the past, from a
RPM package for SLES:

myhost:~/mykohaclone # rpm -qa | grep -i perl-dbd-sqlite
perl-DBD-SQLite-1.11-14.6


So this first "Warning" line seems CORRECT: I have DBD::SQLite 1.11
installed, but I now need DBD::SQLite 1.13. OK, no problem. I
installed it from CPAN.


Now, the PROBLEM is in the 2nd line. I already have Date::ICal version
1.72 installed, also from a RPM package for SLES:

myhost:~/mykohaclone # rpm -qa | grep -i perl-date-ical
perl-Date-ICal-1.72-2.1


This seems to be confirmed by running the following command:

myhost:~/mykohaclone # locate ICal | grep -i date
/root/mykohaclone/perl-Date-ICal-1.72-2.1.i586.rpm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Date/ICal
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Date/ICal/Duration.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Date/ICal.pm
/usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Date-ICal
/usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Date-ICal/Changes
/usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Date-ICal/README
/usr/share/man/man3/Date::ICal.3pm.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/Date::ICal::Duration.3pm.gz
/var/adm/perl-modules/perl-Date-ICal


So, is this "Warning", during Koha installation, WRONG (regarding
Date::ICal not being installed)?

I have the same problem with SMS::Send. I already have SMS::Send
version 0.05 installed by RPM:

myhost:~/mykohaclone # rpm -qa | grep -i sms
perl-SMS-Send-0.05-3.2

But, as I pointed out above, I also got a Warning message, in this
Koha update, saying that "[Wed Apr 22 11:52:20 2009] Makefile.PL:
Warning: prerequisite SMS::Send 0.05 not found. "


What do you think about this?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
