DANGEROUS ?? help needed
I'm trying to compile perl-5.6.0 under potato.
There're some errors relating to the lib/ndbm and lib/anydbm.
I tried to comment out these. Finally I changed the
debian/rules and
debian/config.debian
and added to the Configure:
-Ui_ndbm
in the perl-5.6.0 source directory. STRANGE thing happend!!!
My whole /usr/bin directory was wiped out only two directories
remained there:
libc5-compat
mh
I was running dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b as root from the perl source
directory which is located in a different location than /usr.
Could the dpkg-buildpackage erase the contents of /usr/bin ? Or
something else happend?
The other libraries weren't effected I think.
Anyway I downloaded the base2_2.tgz with netscape which is installed
under /usr/local and put the /usr/bin/* files from the archive into
/usr/bin.
Is there a way to rebuild the other parts of the system? I mean to get
the missing binaries under /usr/bin?
