Missing File::Copy Perl module

Table of Contents

Description

The File::Copy Perl module is missing which may break various CrossOver functions, including packaging and publishing bottles.

Resolution

On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missingperlfilecopy

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.

  • For 32-bit Windows applications
    • Arch Linux : pacman -Syu perl
    • Debian : apt-get install perl-modules
    • Fedora <28 : yum install perl
    • Fedora 28+ : dnf install --best perl-interpreter
    • Fedora : dnf install --best perl-File-Copy
    • openSUSE : zypper install perl-base

Notes:

  • cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
  • The commands usually also apply to newer versions of the distributions above as well as derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian 7 may still be valid for the latest Debian Testing and is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
