I want to install LWP::UserAgent. I tried by using metascan manual method. but it has ~50 depedencies.

I was installing RepeatModeler by using the command perl ./configure

But I get:

The following perl modules required by RepeatModeler are missing from
your system.  Please install these first:
    LWP::UserAgent

When I run sudo apt-get install libwww-perl

I get

[sudo] password for gnomeadmin: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: The package python3-ont-albacore needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

How can I fix that?

    Hello and welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Any particular reason why you want to go the manual way? `sudo apt-get install libwww-perl` should be enough. – Daniele Santi Sep 18 '18 at 14:28
  • My `cpan` is configured to do this. I THINK I told `cpan` to set a config variable, thusly `o conf recommends_policy 1` to set it up. – waltinator Sep 18 '18 at 15:28
  • @MrShunz Yes, and even when using `cpan LWP::UserAgent` the dependencies of that are fetched automatically. – PerlDuck Sep 19 '18 at 09:25
  • You will be able to run the apt command after you fix the problem with `python3-ont-albacore` (is that a custom package). See https://askubuntu.com/questions/967944/how-can-i-reproduce-the-error-package-needs-to-be-reinstalled-but-i-cant-f – Zanna Sep 30 '21 at 17:53

The comment by Mr Shunz gave a good answer above: The fastest way to install HTML::Parser, LWP::UserAgent, etc. is just to install the libwww-perl package with APT.
