message on Arch Linux and ArcoLinux updating perl
erikdubois opened this issue · comments
Updating our system from perl 5.28.0-1 to 5.28.1-1 we see the following message.
It is just a warning. Everything seems to work.
Nevertheless I thought I better tell you.
This comes from /var/log/pacman.log as I closed my terminal already.
[2018-12-07 11:22] [ALPM] upgraded perl (5.28.0-1 -> 5.28.1-1)

[2018-12-07 11:22] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] WARNING: '/usr/lib/perl5/5.26' contains data from at least 1 packages which will NOT be used by the installed perl interpreter.
[2018-12-07 11:22] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] -> Run the following command to get a list of affected packages: pacman -Qqo '/usr/lib/perl5/5.26'
If we run this command
pacman -Qqo '/usr/lib/perl5/5.26'
The answer is :
perl-linux-desktopfiles
When I check the dependency then obmenu-generator seems to use this package.
Not a problem right now but anticipating on one maybe in the future.
Thanks for reporting this issue. It should be fixed in "perl-linux-desktopfiles-0.25-2", which no longer creates the empty directory in /usr/lib/perl5, triggering this warning.
Just tested.
Re-installing perl did not trigger any message.
Thanks.
