The private Error file is not installed if perl/Makefile.PL detects than an Error.pm recent enough on your system. Do you actually have perl/blib/lib/Error.pm ? Try to run (cd perl; make clean; cd ..; make) and try the tests again. ``` ## carbonated beverage, 2008-04-13 03:04 Subject: Re: Test suite failures due to Error.pm issues.

Reporting it slipped my mind until now (sorry). After the: cd perl make clean cd .. make -j4 make test when git 1.5.4.5 is still in /usr/local/stow/git-1.5.4.5 and stow'd to /usr/local, it passes. So it looks like it was picking up the previous Error.pm installed in the git directory from the previous installation. So when it was stow -D'd, and the new git installed and stow'd, the Error.pm went away (also, when the old git was stow -D'd before running the test). Not sure what the right way to handle this is. I may just make a note to always copy over Error.pm, if it won't change in the git source. -- DN Daniel ```
