Re^2: Can't use CPAN.pm once gpg installed by jkeenan1 (Deacon) on Jan 31, 2006 at 13:51 UTC
This worked, albeit with some warning messages which I'll post later today. Thanks to all for your assistance. jimk	[reply]

Here is an excerpt from the messages I got following Aristotle's suggestion: `[jimk] $ sudo -i cpan cpan> install File::pushd` [download] (snip) `Fetching with Net::FTP: ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Couldn't fetch 01mailrc.txt.gz from ftp.perl.org Trying with "/usr/bin/curl -L" to get ftp://ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time + Curr.

I was not previously acquainted with this utility, so I suspect it's a recent addition to the module's functionality. (snip use of curl to get other prerequisites) CPAN: Module::Signature loaded ok gpg: new configuration file `/var/root/.gnupg/gpg.conf' created gpg: WARNING: options in `/var/root/.gnupg/gpg.conf' are not yet a +ctive during this run gpg: Signature made Fri Jan 27 03:47:39 2006 EST using DSA key ID +450F89EC gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found Signature for /var/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DA/DAGOLDEN/CHE +CKSUMS ok Checksum for /var/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DA/DAGOLDEN/File +-pushd-0.30.tar.gz ok [download] It's interesting that CPAN.pm here created a directory tree, /var/root/.gnupg, which did'nt previously exist. As a matter of fact, it created two directory trees, that and /var/root/.cpan. I'm not surprised at the latter, but I am at the former. Can anyone tell me if I should take any action in response to those gpg warnings? From here on down, everything DWIMmed. (snip unpacking of File-pushd-0.30) `Files=1, Tests=34, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.32 cusr + 0.30 csys = 0 +.62 CPU) /usr/bin/make test -- OK Running make install Installing /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/File/pushd.pm Installing /usr/local/man/man3/File::pushd.3 Writing /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/darwin-2level/auto/Fi +le/pushd/.packlist Appending installation info to /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/darwin-2 +level/perllocal.pod /usr/bin/make install -- OK` [download] So it seems like `sudo -i cpan` is the way to go!

The messages relating to `/var/root/.gnupg` appear to be coming from `gpg` which gets launched to perform signature verification duties, rather than from CPAN.pm itself. And you shouldn’t get them again, either. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
