I have 1.24.1+b1 installed on two different machines at home, worked fine both times.

how would I get the older version using apt? I tried specifying a version but it was not found.

Try this.
cd /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0
ln -s /usr/share/perl/5.10.0/ZoneMinder.pm .
ln -s /usr/share/perl/5.10.0/ZoneMinder .

That did not change it, but thank you for taking a stab at it.

What directory is ZoneMinder.pm located? Creating a link from the actual location to a perl searched location should fix this.

[skyking]

Thanks!

I'll go post the bugfix next.

here's what I did:

cd /usr/share/perl/5.10.0

cp -R * ../5.10

apt-get install zoneminder

EDIT:
Better fix, edit /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl

It has a bad path to the custom perl install

Code: Select all

# ==========================================================================
#
# Don't change anything below here
#
# ==========================================================================

use lib '/usr/share/perl/5.10.0'; # Include custom perl install path

I've just confirmed that the package installs eplicitly at /usr/share/perl/5.10.0, rather than at /usr/share/perl/5.10

Not sure why; in the short-term you could downgrade to perl 5.10.0 Meanwhile, I'll try to work out why the package wants to do that.

Missed that when I commented above; I know where that line is coming from, don't know why it resolves to 5.10.x rather than just 5.10. I'm going to play with that and see if that will get rid of the problem . . .

[skyking]

Peter, that is my edit. It did resolve to 5.10, but my install was at 5.10.0, and I presumed that was what is happening with the debian perl install now.

[PeterHoward]

I think the problem is that that line makes it resolve on the builder's side, rather than doing the default install (I could be wrong though). Anyway that line's gone and there is an updated package on its way into the Debian repository.
