Hello fellow Monks,

I was trying to install Crypt::Curve25519 on my LinuxOS box via cpanm and I get the following error:

$ sudo cpanm Crypt::Curve25519
--> Working on Crypt::Curve25519

If I open the log file:

I have even tried to force it to install it still fails. I also found this bug report since 2017 (open last update Friday) dev-perl / Crypt-Curve25519

I updated all the dependencies to the latest version but it stills fails.

Anyone knows if this will be fixed any time soon or any workaround on this?

Thanks again for your time and effort reading and replying to my question.

Update: It seems that this bug has been reported on GitHub as well ajgb/crypt-curve25519. As proposed workaround is to downgrade to the previous version 0.05.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
