Description Serge Robyns 2004-12-15 13:57:28 UTC
When trying to use the exim service filter, the perl script ended because of missing Perl modules.  They are Tie-IxHash and Date-Calc.
After emerging both of these modules I was able to get past the IXhash use but not the Data::Calc.  I don't know why

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge logwatch without the two needed dependencies
2. execute /etc/log.d/scripts/services/exim < /var/log/exim.log
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing 

Expected Results:  
Produced a report of intresting events

did you update perl, w/o running the libperl rebuilder afterwards?
Comment 2 Serge Robyns 2004-12-17 04:48:01 UTC
No, I haven't.

But after emerging the logwatch ebuild (long time after my perl upgrade)
it didn't emerge the two mentioned packages on which it depends.
So I tried to manually emerge them.  It solved the Tie thing.

I did it now the perl rebuilder, but still it fails to load ...
PS: I made a copy of the exim script into postfix 

main::(./postfix:22):   eval "require Date::Calc qw(Delta_Days)" or exit 0;
  DB<1> he
Debugged program terminated.  Use q to quit or R to restart,
  use O inhibit_exit to avoid stopping after program termination,
  h q, h R or h O to get additional info.

the exim script even says it needs these modules ;)
