Hi Monks,

Trying to read the tea leaves with:

cpan[1]> install XML::DoubleEncodedEntities                           
+          
Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata'
  Database was generated on Thu, 29 Dec 2022 05:17:02 GMT
Running install for module 'XML::DoubleEncodedEntities'

Warning: checksum file '/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DC/DCANTRELL/
+CHECKSUMS' not conforming.

The cksum does not contain the key 'cpan_path' for 'XML-DoubleEncodedE
+ntities-1.1.tar.gz'.
Proceed nonetheless? [no]

I'm trying to understand this, and I would say that this seems not to be the usual problem of not having installed the headers that this needs. I ran this command seemingly successfully:

sudo apt install libxml2-dev

, but ended up with the same warning before as after.

As I read it, I would think to not trust the source, but "CANT" seems to be the author, so that shoe doesn't fit either.

Q1) What does this message mean? It's a prereq for Astro::SIMBAD::Client.

The answer could also be that the the SIMBAD project has sunseted in significant ways, as indicated by the first paragraph at Astro::SIMBAD::Client:

As of release 0.027_01 the SOAP interface is deprecated. The Universit
+y of Strasbourg has announced at https://cds.u-strasbg.fr/resources.g
+ml?id=soap that this interface will not be maintained after April 1 2
+014, and that this interface will be stopped on December 31 2018.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
