#11 cpan2rpm stops after tarball extraction

[Peter Pramberger]

I'm using cpan2rpm fairly long and never had a problem
with it. However now I have to package a perl module
which causes problems. Below is the output. cpan2rpm
simply stops somewhere after the tarball extraction:

]# cpan2rpm --packager "..." XML::LibXML::Common

There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.76) available!
[Current version is v1.59_54]
You might want to try
install Bundle::CPAN
reload cpan
without quitting the current session. It should be a
seamless upgrade
while we are running...
