Description of problem: SVK does not run with the latest perl. A work around, as per the URL above is to put in a patch to /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/SVK/Util.pm, to replace use autouse 'List::Util' => qw( max(@) ); with use List::Util; How reproducible: Easy to reproduce Steps to Reproduce: $ svk help autoused module List::Util has unique import() method at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/SVK/Util.pm line 91. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/SVK/Util.pm line 91. Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/SVK/Command.pm line 59. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/SVK/Command.pm line 59. Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/svk line 128.

@ Glen, Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue! Did this bug get fixed? If so, please change its status to RESOLVED - FIXED If it didn't, then we regret that we weren't able to fix it in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/ It only continued to get important security updates since then, because we are waiting for a big Plasma5 update in Mageia 6, that'll fix many of the Mageia 5 => 6 upgrade issues. If you haven't seen that this bug got fixed, then please check whether this bug still exists in Mageia 6. If it does, then please change the Version (near the top, at the left) to "6". If you know it exists in Cauldron, then change Version to Cauldron. If you see it in both Cauldron and Mageia 6, then please set Version to Cauldron and add MGA6TOO on the Whiteboard. Thanks, Marja (In case this report needs to stay open for a supported release: Reassigning to the Perl stack maintainers, since there is no longer a registered maintainer for this package.)

SVK is old and broken and was largely superseded by git/etc. I suggest obsoleting it.

I second whlomif's point of view. I have stopped using it myself to replace it with the working git svn instead.
