Any news? I still have this issue at all my systems.
AFAIU this is an upstream defect, please close it here as 'UPSTREAM'
(In reply to Sergiy Borodych from comment #2) > AFAIU this is an upstream defect, please close it here as 'UPSTREAM' Usually we keep these open... otherwise we just get duplicates. Might make sense to package Math-GSL properly.
Is it the issue still present?
The installation of Math-GSL with g-cpan still fails: - It starts with the installatio of Math-GSL-0.36 and - then endless tryes to install 'module-Build' version '0.4218', see the attached log file.
Created attachment 441822 [details] logfile for g-cpan -i Math-GSL until ^C
Well, seems like another kind of bug. Please create a new bug report for it, with all info. Also using '-v' option would be helpful. I will try to reproduce it later.
