[stow] perl problem: Possible precedence issue

Hi there,
It came with the last perl update that I am no longer able to run stow.
I already reinstalled the package but it still fails with the following error:
Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Stow.pm line 1736.
Does someone know how to fix this issue?
Thank you!

It looks like it's just a warning that doesn't actually affect how it runs.  Anyway, I know almost nothing about Perl, but this patch silences the warning:

  • "Possible precedence issue with control flow operator"

    Hi guys
    I have following Problem:
    Yesterday I made a distribution update from debian wheezy to debian jessie.
    Since then I got a problem with a plugin which I'm using for Icinga a monitoring system.
    When I run it, I got the error that there is an "Undefined subroutine".
    I read on google that I can fix it, with reinstalling the vsphere SDK, but the installation stuck at "CPAN is downloading and installing pre-requisite Perl module "SOAP::Lite"".
    I can skip this step with Ctrl+C and at the end it says "This installer has successfully installed...".
    But when I run the Plugin I get the error message "Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at /usr/share/perl/5.20/VMware/VICommon.pm line 2147." and the whole plugin stucks.
    I tried the following step which I found in this forum and the error message doesn't appear, but the plugin still stucks...
    Re: VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.5.0-1384587 broken with perl 5.20
    I have also Perl 5.20.2...
    Can you guys help me?
    Vinzenz

    Ok I could fix it...
    I changed the line 2147 to
    return (defined $user_agent->cookie_jar and
                      $user_agent->cookie_jar->as_string ne '');
    And this time I waited for a long time and I get a error message that there is a problem with SOAP.
    The solution was to downgrade Net-HTTP and libwww-perl with following commands:
    perl -MCPAN -e shell
    o conf urllist push http://backpan.perl.org
    install GAAS/Net-HTTP-6.03.tar.gz
    install GAAS/libwww-perl-6.03-tar.gz
    The second Command loads older releases to the urllist.
    Thx for your help and I hope I could help others with the same problem.

  • Qosmio F20 - Display problem, possible driver issue

    Good afternoon,
    I am in posession of a Qosmio F20 type notebook, which belongs to a friend. She told me that the screen went all matrix like then was just blank. She claims not to have installed any software or updates recently.
    When it is turned on, the Qosmio logo on a black background appears, then a black screen with lots of white lines vertically down it appears. It then brings up the Windows XP logo, but this time with green lines appearing vertically down the screen, a bit matrix style I guess! After this the screen goes completely blank, and the laptop will either reboot itself, or occasionaly I can hear it boot into windows.
    I can enter into safe mode and view everything fine. If I uninstall the driver, it works fine and boots in as normal, then prompts me for a display driver. As soon as I install the driver which I have downloaded from the Toshiba website (NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600), and reboot, the same problem occurs. If I install the driver then choose not to reboot, it is ok. But as soon as I go into display settings and try and change anything, the screen goes instantly blank again.
    I tried rolling back to an older driver which was dated 29/08/2005 v7.8.9.2, but still the same problem.
    Can anyone suggest a possible solution for this? Or is there an issue with this driver that I am not aware of? The OS is Windows XP Media Center SP2. It has been working fine until yesterday morning apparently.
    Many thanks

    Hi
    Hmm... really bad situation. As far as I know the warranty cannot be exchanged after an hardware problem.
    The motherboard replacement is not cheap! You will have to spend a lot of money to get the motherboard replaced.
    As you know, the board is a most expensive notebook part!
    Anyway, I presume only the authorized service provider would be able to replace the board and to help you.
    Contact the guys in your country adn explain the situation:

  • InDesign 5.5 Text layout problem--possible preference issue

    I do a lot of book layout and recently upgraded from InDesign CS3 to 5.5. I've encountered a problem when I'm editing the text layout
    When I make changes to one paragraph (i.e. change the spacing above or below a head or change leading in a particular paragraph), InDesign is automatically changing the word/letter spacing in the lines of the following paragraph. For instance, I added some space before a head. InDesign automattically shifted the spacing of words and letters in the first lines of the following paragraph instead of just shifting all of the text down. In another case I changed one word in a paragraph, and the letter/word spacing changed in the following paragraph.
    This is unacceptable and didn't happen in CS3. How can I turn off this "function" ?

    What I think is happening here is that you’re editing a layout done in a prior version.
    When you open it, InDesign honors the prior text composition but the second you start to edit the new text engine takes over.
    You can export the document out of CS3 as INX and open that which will force all the text to recompose at once and you can get it all over with or stick with CS3 to finish up this job.

  • IMac Finder problem - possibly BootCamp issue

    Hi all, AppleCare don't work on Sundays, so I'm getting a bit desperate!
    My iMac (24-inch, Early 2009) is up to date running Snow Leopard and has BootCamp installed running Windows XP. I tried to boot into the PC this morning and it looped back to the Mac. Now, I get no response from the Finder - I can't force-quit applications, none of the keyboard commands are working. The mouse will track around the screen, but I can't click on anything. All I can do is hard restart. I've tried booting it in safe mode, and get as far as the login screen, but the keyboard won't work so I can't enter the password (the mouse will track around the screen, but I can't click on anything). I tried changing the target disk to boot into the PC and it went back to the Mac again. I tried booting from a CD to reinstall the OS, and the computer just keeps booting without accessing the CD. When I took my finger off the "C" button, it booted to the Mac with no Finder at all.
    Any thoughts?

    Oh, okay. Resetting the PRAM has done the trick. I hope.
    Pardon me...

  • V3.6.3 Crash Today - Possible Plugin Issue?

    Re: v3.6.3 Crash Today - Possible Plugin Issue?
    Ref: (a) Crash ID bp-cb196f96-dd38-44d7-bffb-778a22100531.
    (b) https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    This user really does not know whether a plugin is involved here, but also, cannot rule that out. And exploring the Plugin Check page with its limited information, has found the following significant issue un-addressed, and thus, mysterious to him.
    Please, consider adding to the Plugin Check page, ref. (b), an explanation on this question>> What must one do, i.e., perform what steps, to update a plugin? I.e, is it infallibly sufficient to download & to run the download? Is updating a fully automated process for all plugins?, or even for some plugins? E.g., does updating an Adobe plugin ever require uninstalling the old plugin first (as does updating the Adobe Reader program, and Acrobat, etc.)? How shall the general user of Firefox know precisely what he/she should perform in this regard, when it is well known that the Adobe updates sites generally fail to recognize and advise the user on the question of whether to uninstall first. We see it in forums, that many of us general users have encountered install failures with Adobe updates, and (1) have found that Adobe updates usually do not work well if installed over the old version, and (2) have found that uninstalling Adobe apps often does not go smoothly and fails to complete the job, leaving vulnerable exe's or dll's hanging around to frustrate our subsequent updating. And, Adobe is not the only offender in this way. A frank and helpful mention of this issue would save much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and if uninstallation is a good idea, please explain how to Uninstall a Plugin, because plugins generally lack an Uninstall button in the Add-ons window of Firefox. And, this begs the question, is it desirable to Disable a plugin, before running the updating installation file? Or is there "no benefit" if Disabled first? Please try to write up these aspects plainly. Ideally, from this user's perspective, placement of this ought to be a few sentences directly on the Plugin Check page. Your consideration and adoption of this suggestion is respectfully requested, and it will be much appreciated.

    ''You can disable plugins here: Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
    See also Troubleshooting plugins
    Plugins provide a way to use other program to embed content. so you have to go to the program that adds a plugin and check the options (preferences) to disable the plugin.''
    Anyone knowledgeable, please comment.
    Thanx for suggesting the Disable button, cor-el, but my question addressed Uninstall of Plug-ins. This was due to the now-recognized problem which afflicts Adobe update patches, that the patch doesn't go well unless the old version is Uninstalled first; thus requiring a clean installation of the fully updated application.
    It is my understanding that the Disable button does not necessarily uninstall the old files. When I was unaware of this consistently occurring property of Adobe's patches, I had more than one case of Adobe Reader and Acrobat failing to update completely, causing hours of fruitless troubleshooting, and this continued with the most recent patches to Adobe Reader, the one updating it to v9.3.2, as well as earlier ones. Therefore, it seems not unreasonable to expect that the Shockwave Flash plugin that is now flagged as vulnerable again (v10.0.45.2), needs to be Uninstalled before updating.
    Is there no dependable method for Uninstalling plugins?
    If not, then one wonders, why not? Is there a reason why Mozilla designs Plugins to be different from Extensions in this regard?

        Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

  • How to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

    how to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

    Alex,
    the missing thing in your example is the fact, that if only one value is selected, the parameter has exact this value like BOSTON. If you choose more than one value, the parameter includes the *'*, so that it looks like *'BOSTON','NEW YORK'*. So you need to check in the package, if there's a *,* in the parameter or not. If yes there's more than one value, if not it's only one value or it's null.
    So change your package to (you need to expand your variables)
    create or replace package bip_departments_2_parameters
    as
    p_dep_2_param varchar2(1000);
    p_loc_1_param varchar2(1000);
    p_where_clause varchar2(1000);
    function beforereporttrigger
    return boolean;
    end bip_departments_2_parameters;
    create or replace package body bip_departments_2_parameters
    as
    function beforereporttrigger
    return boolean
    is
    l_return boolean := true;
    begin
    p_where_clause := ' ';
    if p_dep_2_param is not null then
    if instr(p_dep_2_param,',')>0 then
    p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME in ('||p_dep_2_param||')';
    else
    p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME = '''||p_dep_2_param||'''';
    end if;
    if p_loc_1_param is not null then
    if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
    p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC IN ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
    else
    p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
    end if;
    end if;
    else
    if p_loc_1_param is not null then

  • Copy and paste adjustment  problem/ possible bug.

    Hi all
    I have just encountered a very strange problem/ possible bug.
    I have been working on a file in photoshop cs5 that had come from lightroom 5.3. This was then saved (automaticaly becomes tiff file in Lightroom). I then wanted to make some more adjustments to it in lightroom (using local adjustment clarity). I then tried to copy the settings of the adjustment brush  from the tiff to the original raw file. This is where it gets very strange. The adjustments are copied but they are rotated ccw by 90 degrees!  I can replicate this every time.
    Could someone else try to see if this problem exists on their catalogs or if its a corrpution problem my end.

    Noted on the bug, thanks.

    The issue arises when trying to cascade, a spreadsheet is generated but is empty. Likewise, if I select 'One Workbook, Separate sheets', the same thing happens.

    Hi Siva,
    I think that these are questions that you should ask on the Infrastructure space since the guys there have way much more knowledge on installations. Additionally, I would suggest to discuss these questions with a consultant who is going to have broader understanding of your requirements.
    Regarding question number 1, generally speaking version 11.1.2.3 is considered to be an improved and more stable version of 11.2.2.2.
    Regarding question number 3, you need to provide more details like number of users per tool, number of concurrent users, volume of data per tool, requirements for High Availability or Disaster recovery etc…

  • Possible DNS issue with AirPort Express basestation?

    Hi all -
    Up until recently my Airport Express has been working great. This past weekend I started noticing that website browsing became slow, and some websites would not come up at all (e.g. popular sites like wordpress.org).
    Otherwise my internet connection works fine (email works, browsing for the most part is normal for all computers on the network, pc and mac).
    I read that this could be a possible DNS issue. I unplugged the AE basestation and plugged my Powerbook directly into my cable modem and was able to get to all websites that I couldn't get to while using the AE. That, and browsing was a heck of a lot faster (it seemed).
    Can anyone help me out and point me to a specific setting on the AE that I can toggle, correct, whatever, to solve this (possible) DNS issue?
    Thanks!
    Jeff

    Dear Henry, Thanks for your reply, and we are sorry for having intruded upon the wrong thread with our troubles. Perhaps you could point us to the most pertinent thread. Further pushing credulity Might you assist us further?... We have checked every floor in the building and no new equip has been added, though I can't speculate on the 'hood at large. We added a Time Capsule to the mix hoping that might bring back some stability and speed, but results aren't very promising so far. perhaps you might point us to a resource for professional help, or web sites that may help us define and implement something beyond the ad hoc system we have currently. We have read through the Apple docs regarding Designing Networks, and though informative they don't necessarily explain the nuances / consequences of different configurations, for instance, that WDS will adversely affect net speed. Thanks in advance for your input (should you wish to assist). If you are so inclined I can provide the snap shot of our list of hardware. And again apologies if we are in the wrong place.

  • Perl problem (OS X Tiger)

    Hi,
    I'm working on a script converting Unix LF to Windows CRLF and in some cases vice versa. I'm using Perl in conversion:
    perl -i -pe 's/\n/\r\n/' filename
    or
    perl -i -pe 's/\012/\015\012/g' filename
    These worked in workstation (OS X 10.4.11) but not in server (OS X 10.4.11 Server). File is still in LF. It converts happily with TextWrangler. I have no clue what could be the culprit.

    I see nobody has chimed in yet, so while I don't have an answer to the perl problem, I thought I'd at least drop my two cents. If you're really only using perl for that replace-regex one-liner and not a long perl script, perhaps you could just use a different program like sed, awk, or even tr to get what you need yet not require a gui app. Googling how to apply them will pull up a lot, but just as a foot in the door, you could pull what you need from this script, which uses sed:
    http://www.noels-lab.com/crlf.html
    and here are a couple other regex one-liners (in awk and tr) which you could adapt to your purposes. Note, though, that the examples aren't for crlf and that tr cannot add characters, only swap or remove.
    http://kb.iu.edu/data/agiz.html
    I just don't know the quirks of Perl well enough to address the odd behaviour, but if you do decide to try another method and get stuck, I (we?) would be glad to help.
    Good luck.
