Hi,

I need to install the ExifTool with cpanm on ubuntu 22.04 and have trouble to install it.

When I run

cpanm EXIFTOOL/Image-ExifTool-12.60.tar.gz -vvv

I always get

...

Code Select

Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/E/EX/EXIFTOOL/Image-ExifTool-12.60.tar.gz ... ERROR: Transfer truncated: only 8264 out of 5088286 bytes received

I also tried the same with version /Image-ExifTool-12.50.tar.gz
but the error ist then also

Code Select

Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/E/EX/EXIFTOOL/Image-ExifTool-12.50.tar.gz ... ERROR: Transfer truncated: only 8264 out of 5088286 bytes received
FAIL

To be sure that everything else works on that system I installed

cpanm OALDERS/libwww-perl-6.68.tar.gz -vvv

and

cpanm MVZ/Email-Outlook-Message-0.920.tar.gz

whithout any problems.

Is this maybe a known issue or do you have an idea to work around this problem?

Best
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

Looks like a cpanm issue. I haven't seen this, so I don't know of a work-around. The work-around would be to download the package directly and install it yourself. (This is easy -- see the README file.)

Hi Phil,

thanks for your quick response.

Sorry but manual installation is not an option for me, because I need to automate the installation for exiftool and many other perl modules with ansible vor several servers. And yes, I read your README.md, but it does not fit for the requirements given to me.

As I wrote before other perl modules install well with cpanm, only the exiftool is not working.

By the way the same happens with the pure cpan install.

I see your needs to provide an option to install exiftool standalonde for all the guys that are not using the perl ecosystem, but it would be realy helpfull if exiftool can be installed also with the standard procedure that is used for all the other modules in the perl wolrd.

Hi Oliver,

This is the wrong place for this bug report. It should be reported to the cpanm maintainers.

The problem seems to be on your end. I copy/pasted your command directly into Windows CMD and there wasn't any problem
