Awesome, thanks for the addition @epaule !

grr, that `_strip_crlf` should really be using something more consistent like the implementation in Bio::Root::IO. Short gain of speed for a significant gain in pain. @tseemann I should add, I'm...

@tseemann Happened to have an older version of perl installed (pre-High Sierra), which hangs forever (my guess it's building the index), and then fails, though not with the same errors...

@tseemann I'll see if I can debug this over the weekend. Seems like it's creating a corrupt index. The older version I mention above seems to have a very similar...

@tseemann I encountered this when carrying over a compiled perl/bdb from OS X 10.12; I had to reinstall `berkeley-db`, then reinstall perl and the Bioperl dependencies. I used `brew install...

@enozkan system perl shouldn't be affected unless you are using an older version of the perl/bdb library. Are you seeing the same issue reported here?

@enozkan I found this when I upgraded but retained my perl installation along with precompiled libraries. So the problem won't go away if you merely update berkeley-db; you also need...

About the only way we can address this internally is to try detecting a defunct DB_File, then point to this thread. File system updates suck.

Yeah, the prereq should be added to the `.travis.yml` file. One problem: we are trying to slim down on modules (and dependencies) being added to bioperl-live; could this exist in...
