checkperlmodules] The perl module Archive::Zip could not be installed

[PPNSteve]

This module is required by cPanel, and the system may not function correctly until it is installed, and functional. Below is the results of the auto-install attempt:

so,
new update on current tonight.. anyone else seeing this error? Have a solution, if one is needed?

[DReade83]

According to Index of /pub/CPAN/authors/id/S/SM/SMUELLER/, this is an old PathTools release cPanel is trying to upgrade to. Version 3.30 was released in May this year, so I'm not sure why cPanel is using an older version of the software currently??

Anyone know how to cure this?

[DReade83]

I logged this issue via cPanel Support and they reckon this is perfectly normal and that cPanel has functioned as it's meant to when modules are due for upgrade.

Thing is this isn't normal - I've receiving error emails with this exact output from all my servers every time they check for Perl module updates now.

I got messages from my servers as well this morning.

Any advice on installing the module manually? The 1.28 version is also sitting in the /home/.cpan/sources/authors/id/A/AD/ADAMK/ directory.

This worked...

Thanks Chirpy!

[Serra]

I was just going to update the thread about the mailscanner issue. I had to use the manual fix on both my servers. The /scripts... one didn't automatically fix it.

[docbreed]

Same here

wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/A/AD/ADAMK/Archive-Zip-1.30.tar.gz
tar -xzf Archive-Zip-1.30.tar.gz
cd Archive-Zip-1.30
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

Same here. The cpan mirrors my servers were hooking up to didn't have the new version yet.
