Hi

Im trying to upgrade to version 3.6.0 from 3.4.5 and in trying to install
all the perl dependencies I keep getting the following error which I presume
is about Test::Expect but as you can see when it tries to install it, it
finds that it is already installed. I just really wanted to know if its safe
to still proceed as Ive put the upgrade on hold for the moment.

Looks like your test died before it could output anything.

What I’ve found is that if you have a newer version that it usually
doesn’t matter. I had the same problem with XML::RSS. Make testdeps
wouldn’t find v1.05 however, I have v1.10 installed. Everything still
worked as expected.

I suspect that some items are hard-coded for a particular version and
ignore anything other than that one version. If you have a newer
version installed, chances are it will still work.

I had some similar problems. I don’t remember exactly what I did…
futz around until it worked. Didn’t seem too hard… until I updated
way too many packages on my netbsd system (en masse) and it choked big
time!
