[Packaging bug] perl-5.10.1-5: Superfluous symlink for cygperl5_10.dll

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi

In the latest perl-5.10.1-5 there is a symlink 

 /usr/lib/perl5/5.10/i686-cygwin/CORE/cygperl5_10.dll
 
for 

 /usr/bin/cygperl5_10.dll

which breaks 'make check' when trying to run the testsuite for 
openldap when it's perl enabled.

The libtool generated wrapper for slapd includes the following 
PATH statement:

PATH=:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/bin:/usr/lib/perl5/5.10/i686-cygwin/CORE:/misc/src/release/openldap-2.4.29-1/build/libraries/libldap_r/.libs:/misc/src/release/openldap-2.4.29-1/build/libraries/liblber/.libs:$PATH

So when the real slapd starts up it exits with exit code 127 because 
it finds the symlink for cygperl5_10.dll before the real one.

Shouldn't that symlink be there in the first place ?

For now I removed it and the openldap test suite works again.

Ciao
  Volker
