DetailsI've just reinstalled Arch Linux and found that it would not print (foomatic-rip) failing. Investigations led to this being caused by Perl not being able to cope with use strict/warnings;
e.g. the simple perl program - use strict; use warnings; generates 'can't locate module strict.pm' messages. I reinstalled Perl and it went away. Not sure if this is reproducible or a one-off wierd bug for some reason. Could be a symlink fault on first installation ? |
This task depends upon

Have reinstalled arch (you don't want to know the stupid reason why - my fault not Arch's) and same problem has occurred - same fix (pacman -S perl and accept reinstall) solves problem.
