I have recently had a problem installing postgresql-plperl-8.4 on the new Ubuntu 14.04 distribution. When I tried to install it, it gave me this error:
postgresql-plperl-8.4 depends on libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.1);
however: Package libperl5.10 is not installed.
Using dpkg to check the depency also gives:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.1), postgresql-8.4 (= 8.4.21-1.pgdg10.4+1), perl
Fine, then I checked what version of libperl is installed on 14.04 using dpkg by running:
dpkg --search libperl
Then I got results shown below:
libperl5.18: /usr/share/doc/libperl5.18
libperl5.18: /usr/share/lintian/overrides/libperl5.18
which clearly suggests that I have libperl installed with a version that satisfies the need for postgresql-plperl-8.4 and yet it is giving me errors. Can anyone help?
