(Now I need a different message and to remember to uncheck encryption.)

Earlier today I ran setup.exe to update Cygwin and packages.  Now when I
try to use git add -p (one of its iterative modes) I get an error from
Perl (I assume) that it cannot find Error.pm in @INC

(I should really learn to not update things)

Here's the full output:

$ git add -p
Can't locate Error.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14 /usr/lib/perl5/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int /usr/lib/perl5/5.14 .) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14/Git.pm line 103.

I have seen large changes regarding Perl on the cygwin-announce list so
perhaps it was split off into some other package.  I searched for error
in setup.exe and saw that I do have perl-Error installed.

Can anyone help me try to solve this?

Perl's debugger is your friend! With it you can "use <module>" then do"f <module>" and find exactly where Perl found it. For me it was:


$ perl -de 0 -MError

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.33
Editor support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help.

main::(-e:1):   0
  DB<1> f Error
Choosing /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14/Error.pm matching `Error':
1       # Error.pm
