I have recently had a problem installing postgresql-plperl-8.4 on the new Ubuntu 14.04 distribution. When I tried to install it, it gave me this error:

postgresql-plperl-8.4 depends on libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.1); 
however: Package libperl5.10 is not installed.

Using dpkg to check the depency also gives:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libperl5.10 (>= 5.10.1), postgresql-8.4 (= 8.4.21-1.pgdg10.4+1), perl

Fine, then I checked what version of libperl is installed on 14.04 using dpkg by running:

dpkg --search libperl

Then I got results shown below:

libperl5.18: /usr/share/doc/libperl5.18
libperl5.18: /usr/share/lintian/overrides/libperl5.18

which clearly suggests that I have libperl installed with a version that satisfies the need for postgresql-plperl-8.4 and yet it is giving me errors. Can anyone help?

  • Out of interest, why would you install plperl for PostgreSQL 8.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 ? Surely it should come with PostgreSQL 9.2 or 9.3... – Craig Ringer Apr 29 '14 at 01:57
  • @CraigRinger The server that is running 8.4 needs to be upgraded. I'm trying out 14.04 with psql8.4 db because of compatibility issues with other servers running 8.4. – Jay Apr 29 '14 at 13:13
  • Where are the 8.4 packages from, then? 8.4 isn't included in Ubuntu 14.04. – Craig Ringer Apr 29 '14 at 13:19
  • @CraigRinger I obtained it from pkgs.org – Jay Apr 29 '14 at 15:20
