Installing LIBNET 1.08 module via CPAN

Author	Message
Shaw #1 / 7	Installing LIBNET 1.08 module via CPAN Hi, I'm trying to use CPAN to install libnet per Slashdot's installation instructions. CPAN is telling me that it is looking for libnet-1.08.tar.gz; I can find a README file about 1.08, but nothing else, anywhere. How can I either lay my hands on this or change what CPAN is looking for on my system to a file that actually exists...like 1.07 and get rid of this issue. Thanks for the help, Shawn

Go to http://search.cpan.org/ and type "libnet" as a distribution search. Maybe you were looking for a module instead of a bundle? David

I believe that libnet-1.08 was uploaded prematurely, and has since been deleted from CPAN. best regards, randy kobes

Thanks! --Roger

Thanks! > --Roger I'm having the same problem. I had hoped to finish a project tonight, but it requires Net::FTP so I'm fighting the libnet-1.08 issue instead. I can tell you two things I tried but that didn't help at all. 1) Renaming all libnet-1.08 to libnet-1.06 in the Metadata file. I thought it'd consider it an older version and install the more recent 1.0704. No luck, it just tried to download 1.06. 2) Replace all libnet-1.08 with libnet-1.0704. Again nope... CPAN complains that Metadata is corrupt and downloads a new one.

Thanks! The index files CPAN.pm uses to associate modules with distributions now thinks there's a libnet-1.08, which isn't on CPAN anymore. I guess one has to wait until these index files get updated accordingly, or else use CPAN.pm to install, eg, Net::FTP::E, which is still associated with libnet-1.0704. best regards, randy kobes

Ah... Okay. In that case, I'm guessing that the CPAN module has an out of date dependency on the "newest" libnet, which no longer exists. (i.e. I doubt CPAN.pm requires 1.08) Does CPAN.pm eventually do the right thing in the case of a deleted file? In any case, I would manually download and install libnet 1.0704, then download and install the new CPAN module. I'm betting that the new CPAN module won't complain about 1.0704 (although I haven't checked the dependencies.) David
