Packages : perl5-5.30 outdated but forced for any package
Date: Sat, 16 Oct 2021 07:47:18 UTC
Hi, I had to install via pkg a Python module that won't compile. I know it's Bad to mix ports and packages, but it doesn't compile for an unknown reason, and I need it. When I do pkg install devel/py-platformdirs It says > New packages to be INSTALLED: > perl5.30: 5.30.3_1 > py38-platformdirs: 2.3.0 > > [...] > ===== > Message from perl5.30-5.30.3_1: > [...] > > ===> NOTICE: > > This port is deprecated; you may wish to reconsider installing it: Why does pkg insist to install an old, outdated version of perl (I have an up-to-date perl already) ? Please consider updating perl in Packages (latest is afaik 5.34) Regards Xavier -- Xavier HUMBERT - Unix/Win/MacOSX Sysadmin/Network Senior Engineer https://www.amdh.fr
