Dear Maintainer,

It seems that note has a new dependency since 1.3.6

Trying to install it on a fresh debian install, I get the following error launching note, with the version 1.3.26-3:

Can't locate YAML.pm in @INC (you may need to install the YAML module) (@INC contains: /usr/bin/.. blib/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at /usr/bin/note line 40.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/note line 40.

Installing the package libyaml-perl solves the problem.

Best,

E.

Hello,

Sorry, I cannot reproduce it, could you confirm that libyaml-perl is
still needed?

Thanks!

Il est arrivé, un jour, à Emmanuel Arias d'écrire :

It still doesn't work, both on my computer and on a fresh container. Here is the result from the fresh container:

good bye!

(same replacing debian:latest by debian:bookworm or debian:bullseye)

Thanks,
