>Description:
Yesterday I was unable to install package p5-Data-Dump on NetBSD.

The NetBSD-8.0 system on which the problem was observed is a virtual machine (Virtual Box) sitting on a FreeBSD-11.2 host managed by Vagrant.  The Vagrantfile used to provision the VM calls a shell script which installs various pkgsrc packages and Perl libraries from CPAN.  Whenever a pkgsrc package is available for a given CPAN distribution, I use the pkg.  So, going into this problem, the relevant section of the Vagrant file was this:

#####
     sudo pkgin install \
        p5-CGI \
        p5-JSON \
        p5-JSON-XS \
        p5-HTTP-Daemon \
        p5-HTTP-Message \
        p5-Test-NoWarnings

     sudo pkgin install \
        p5-Data-Dump

     sudo cpan \
        CGI::Utils \
        System::Info \
        Perl::Download::FTP::Distribution
#####

I have called 'vagrant up' or 'vagrant reload --provision' many times on this VM.  The output of 'vagrant reload --provision' would generally contain this output.

#####

In other words, I never got any indication that pkg p5-Data-Dump had *failed* to install.  Nor would I have suspected that p5-Data-Dump would be defective, as I have (a) used the underlying CPAN module, Data::Dump, hundreds of times and (b) I have installed and used the corresponding packages on FreeBSD and OpenBSD many times.

Yesterday, however, I went to run a Perl program which relies on Data::Dump.  The program failed, indicating that Data::Dump could not be located in Perl's @INC, the list of directories which are searched for modules to be loaded.

#####
$ perl -MData::Dump -E 'say q|hello world|;'
Can't locate Data/Dump.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Data::Dump module) (@INC contains: /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30.0/x86_64-netbsd-thread-multi /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.30.0 /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.30.0/x86_64-netbsd-thread-multi /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.30.0 /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.30.0/x86_64-netbsd-thread-multi /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.30.0).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
#####

I then discovered that p5-Data-Dump had not been installed.

#####
$ pkg_info p5-Data-Dump
pkg_info: can't find package `p5-Data-Dump'
#####

I re-ran 'vagrant reload --provision' several times on the host, with no better results.  Eventually I modifed the Vagrant file to load Data-Dump via the 'cpan' command rather than from pkgsrc.

#####
     sudo cpan \
        CGI::Utils \
        Data::Dump \
        System::Info \
        Perl::Download::FTP::Distribution
#####

Re-running 'vagrant reload --provision', this time CPAN module Data::Dump was clearly installed.

#####

    default:   /usr/bin/make test -- OK
...
    default:   sudo /usr/bin/make install  -- OK
#####

And Perl can now locate Data::Dump.

#####
$ perl -MData::Dump -E 'say q|hello world|;'
hello world
#####

I therefore infer that there is a defect in pkgsrc package p5-Data-Dump.

 There's no issue I see with the p5-Data-Dump package itself. It
 installs and is available in my environment as expected. I suspect the
 issue you're actually reporting lies with pkgin. Perhaps it's failing
 somehow, and not reporting it. (I've never used pkgin, so I can't
 comment any further here.)

 You could confirm this either by installing p5-Data-Dump from source via
 pkgsrc ("make install"), or by installing a pre-built binary package of
 it using pkg_add instead of pkgin.

 Regards,

 Dave

 Note in my original post that in my Vagrantfile I successfully installed 
 6 other p5-* packages using 'sudo pkgin install'.  If that is so, why 
 would a problem in 'pkgin' only manifest itself when trying to install 
 'devel/p5-Data-Dump'?

 Thank you very much.

 I don't know, but you haven't provided any logging information that
 shows what pkgin (or Vagrant) is actually doing while trying to install
 the package in question, so it's not possible to discern what's going
 on. The package installs correctly for me via pkg_add and pkgin (I just
 installed pkgin and tested with it in the most comparable environment I
 have).

 Please try installing the package outside of Vagrant, and provide a
 log of what happens. If pkgin doesn't work, please try pkg_add for
 comparative purposes.

 Below is a log of a successful installation of p5-Data-Dump on NetBSD
 8.1_STABLE (which shares the same packages as 8.0), a test I just ran.
 I don't know what version of pkgin you're using, so I chose 0.14.0,
 built from the pkgsrc 2019Q4 branch.

 # pkgin -v 
 pkgin 0.14.0 for NetBSD-8.1_STABLE x86_64 (using SQLite 3.17.0)
