Description Eric Olsen 2010-09-12 03:30:13 UTC
A number of small issues turned up when installing Koha from trunk on a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx).  These include:

1 - install_misc/ubuntu.packages 

    : not all available and needed packages are listed in the file (including
      a number of the CPAN modules listed later for manual install)
    : at least one typo in package name "bmarc-record-perl" (should be
      libmarc-record-perl)
    : due to random order of file, hard to sort out what is there or not
    : some duplicated lines
    : also somewhat difficult to see what has been successfully installed
      as dselect appears to quietly ignore any problems it has with problems
      in this file (such as the "bmarc-" typo)

2 - INSTALL.ubuntu

    : Most of CPAN modules listed for manual install are now available
      as ubuntu packages (except Locale::Currency::Format)
    : Manual CPAN modules needed (but not listed) include:  HTTP::OAI,
      Memoize::Memcached, PDF::API2::Simple Storable Text::CSV::Encoded
    : Install of PDF::API2::Simple has a dependency on Module::Install
      which can be installed as a package (libmodule-install-perl).
    : Entire section on "DBD::mysql Install" (sect 2.4) can be removed
      for Lucid as the needed version (actually later) can be installed as
      a package (libdbd-mysql-perl).

What I have done in the three patch files:

(1) Created a separate "INSTALL.ubuntu.lucid" file based on the original 
    "INSTALL.ubuntu".  Decided it was best to simply create a new version
    of the file so that references to old needs did not have to be kept.
    Not entirely updated as yet -- just worked on packages and cpan.

(2) Updated the ubuntu.packages file with the various packages available
    for lucid and corrected the various issues I found with typos, duplicates,
    etc.  Decided not worth creating a separate version specifically
    for lucid as dselect appears to ignore stuff it cannot find/recognize.
    So, that shouldn't hurt installs on earlier versions.

(3) Added a script utility (install_misc/ubuntu-pkg-check.sh) mentioned
    in "INSTALL.ubuntu.lucid".  Basically what this does is read the file
    "ubuntu.packages" and use "apt-cache policy" to report the version of 
    each package that is found installed (if not installed, the version 
    will be "(none)" or "" depending on apt-cache's reaction to a given
    package name).

    This should make it a little easier to see what dselect was and was
    not able to install.
