Folks
In a test Centos 8 installation as a guest of
VirtualBox on Windows 10, I want to install
ffmpeg, and support for exfat. They're not in
the standard distribution (as far as I know), so I issue as root:
 yum -y --enablerepo rpmfusion-free-updates
install ffmpeg fuse-exfat exfat-utils
and that works just fine. The ffmpeg
functionality works; I haven't tested exfat
yet. However, later, as part of maintenance,
I want to get a list of everything that's installed, so I issue
 yum list installed
and the following diagnostics occur:

By the way, cpanm works ok too.
My questions are:
What do these diagnostics tell me? What am I supposed to do about it?
Thanks for your help
David
I think its telling you that perl is NOT
installed but the listed perl modules are
installed although it could be looking for
specifically the 5.26 version of perl (since you
mentioned the CPAN works). What happens if you
issue perl -v? perl gets installed as a
dependency of logwatch as an example so a lot of
people don't realize that they have perl installed whether they want it or not.
Cheers,
Dave

Perl is explicitly installed, "perl -v"
identifies v5.26.3, and comes from the standard
Centos 8 repositories. So, I suspect your
interpretation doesn't fit the facts.
