Rudder

Thank you for this detailed ticket.
Could you check the output of the command

perl -I /opt/rudder/lib/perl5 --version

perl --version

It seems that the version of perl used within Rudder is newer than the one on your system, hence the missing Perl_xs_handshake

Could it be https://www.rudder-project.org/redmine/issues/12599 ?

Would you mind trying to install libxml-treepp-perl?

Tryed installing libxml-treepp-perl but I get the same error

Thanks for the information, we are going to look more carefuly to it. Thanks for the test, it helps a lot.

tried on a vanilla debian 9 and a rudder 4.3.1 and i cannot reproduce, which version of rudder are you using ?

Latest Rudder version
It was on debian 9.0 and not 9.4

OK, tried with this debian 9.0 https://app.vagrantup.com/bento/boxes/debian-9.0 and i cannot reproduce either

can you give us the result of ldd /opt/rudder/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi/auto/List/Util/Util.so ?

Here is the command outpute :

$ ldd /opt/rudder/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi/auto/List/Util/Util.so
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff249b1000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007ff2506ba000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000055d11dfa9000)

What is the output of "dpkg -l | grep perl" ?

Here is the requested output :

I find more than one thing suspicious here :
- you don't have a libperl package
- you have perl 5.20 whereas debian 9 provides perl 5.24
- some of your packages have a deb8u1 version which means they come from debian 8

This makes me wonder if your upgrade from debian 8 to debian 9 has properly terminated.

You are right.

After talking with the team who installed the VM, they said to me the upgrade from debian 8 to 9 was not very successfull.
So I am pretty sure it is not working properly due to this bad upgrade.

Thansk for your help
