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 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
