dvd::rip for Debian
-------------------

Incompatibility between Perl storable versions in cluster mode
--------------------------------------------------------------

If you got this error message:

Event: trapped error: Storable binary image v2.5 more recent than I am (v2.4) 
at blib/lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into blib/lib/auto/Storable/thaw.al) ...

Below is a possible solution from upstream author.

Neither of them ;)

Yep, exactly that's the case. sarge uses Perl 5.8.1 and woody 5.6.1, 
obviously with different and incompatible Storable versions. Storable is
used to serialize the objects sent over the network which control the 
cluster control daemon.

Gerald: either you downgrade Storable on the sarge machine or you 
upgrade Storable on your woody machine. I'd suggest installing the 
up-/downgraded version to a different location and point PERL5LIB to it
before starting dvd::rip (GUI resp. master). Maybe other Perl modules 
rely on the shipped Storable version so overwriting it system wide could
be evil.
