Can't locate File/RandomAccess.pm in @INC (you may need to install the File::RandomAccess module) (@INC contains: /usr/bin/lib /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.24.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.24.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.24.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.1/Image/ExifTool.pm line 21.

Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/exiftool line 30.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/exiftool line 30.

I recently started getting this when trying to open exiftool. I tried to reinstall exiftool but it did not help. I suspect there is something wrong with perl installed in my system.
Does anyone know how to fix that?

The message is clear, you’re missing the RandomAccess module, not the exiftool

zypper in perl-File-RandomAccess

Hi
Sure, the application code needs to be fixed, @INC changed (deprecated?) in perl 5.26.0


* Wed Aug 30 2017 mls@suse.de
- update to perl-5.26.0
  * "." no longer in @INC

Hi
It’s a requires on exiftool…?

@OP, how are you updating your system, via zypper dup?

Edit: Ahh, user has not updated to 5.26.1…

I use both system tray update widget and zypper dup.

I actually just fixed that via running zypper up and zypper in perl. I got a warning that a package is broken and need to change vendor from packman to opensuse. I accepted that, the package got downgraded but exiftool works now.

Hi
Using Tumbleweed. the only way to ensure you won’t run into issues like this is always zypper dup not up from the command line, no GUi tools…

If you want to see what is happening is add some verbosity with -vvv (the more v’s the more verbose).

10

Can I remove the widget then? I still can’t get used to openSUSE’s patterns. patterns-kde-kde_plasma is just killing me. I am missing patterns-openSUSE-plasma5_basis

Please include the prompt + command invoked when posting output. And use ‘zypper dup’ and nothing else.
