Hi,
Today we upgraded some software on the Solaris login servers (willow and wolfsbane). Notable upgrades include Perl 5.10.1, Python 2.6.5, git 1.7.0.3, GNU bash 4.1 and Mercurial 1.5.
A full list of upgrades is available at https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/MNT-409
This upgrade has caused all of my tools using the Perl MediaWiki::API module to break.
Specifically API.php returns its response in gzip format. MediaWiki::API uses the standard perl LWP module which uses the Compress::Zlib module to decode web responses in gzip format.
Compress::Zlib is not an installed module on wolfsbane
What I don't understand is how the upgrade has caused this. Could the upgrade have uninstalled a previously present Compress::Zlib or could MediaWiki::API work without Compress::Zlib before the upgrade?
