Testdeps / fixdeps bug (omission)

RT Users
1

Hi all,

I’ve just done a fresh install of RT on a (fresh) RedHat 7.2 for testing
(trying to fix my mod_perl problem…), when I ran into an omission
(I think?).

It doesn’t seem that testdeps / fixdeps check for the Apache::DBI
package - I had to pull it off CPAN manually. Shouldn’t it?

Apache::DBI doesn't deal properly with CPAN installation checks.
This is already noted in the README.

Well - I guess my reading of the readme misled me (see below for
quote). I took it as “if testdeps didn’t complain you won’t need to
install xxx” 8-(

Maybe a slight change in wording could help?
(You may need to install Apache::Session and Apache::DBI
by hand - testdeps cannot check those modules)

3.2 If there are unsatisfied dependencies, install them by hand or
run
make fixdeps

   (You may need to install Apache::Session and Apache::DBI

by hand.

    You might need to install Msql-Mysql-Modules by hand.
    perl -MCPAN -e'install DBD::mysql::Install' should do it for

you.
