Re^5: Test failures prevent installation of Module::Package::RDF (on CygPerl) ('Dependency Hell')

Aha, ok, Thank you choroba. I should have been able to figure that out, but the partial path deceived me. Before receiving your reply I made up a patch locally.

... Good lord, this worked! I must show the console/tty output I got, because I am so amazed and delighted that such a complex-seeming apparatus actually worked on my trouble-prone system:

Applying 1 patch:
  C:/Users/somia/Documents/Patches/Distroprefs/Module-Manifest-Skip-SOMIAN.patch
  D:/SBP/c/bin/patch.exe -N --fuzz=3 -p1
patching file lib/Module/Manifest/Skip.pm

This is pretty cool stuff. Who invented the distroprefs for CPAN.pm?

This is the oldest mention of distroprefs in the Changes. But there might have been an older system reaching dates not covered by the Changes, I didn't use it at that time, so I have no idea. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]
