in thread Module packlists vs. vendors

Something weird is going on, I do the exact same thing and get no packlists, both on Gentoo and on Ubuntu:

Upgrade, See https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/commit/58ec782413fdfb03f30c0de39131e7eb228f8bc9

How do these parts look in your Makefile?

Pretty much as you'd expect 
pure_site_install :: all
    $(NOECHO) $(MOD_INSTALL) \
        read $(SITEARCHEXP)\auto\$(FULLEXT)\.packlist \
        write $(DESTINSTALLSITEARCH)\auto\$(FULLEXT)\.packlist \
        $(INST_LIB) $(DESTINSTALLSITELIB) \
        $(INST_ARCHLIB) $(DESTINSTALLSITEARCH) \
        $(INST_BIN) $(DESTINSTALLSITEBIN) \
        $(INST_SCRIPT) $(DESTINSTALLSITESCRIPT) \
        $(INST_MAN1DIR) $(DESTINSTALLSITEMAN1DIR) \
        $(INST_MAN3DIR) $(DESTINSTALLSITEMAN3DIR)
    $(NOECHO) $(WARN_IF_OLD_PACKLIST) \
        $(PERL_ARCHLIB)\auto\$(FULLEXT)

      which means someone edited your MM_Unix.pm to remove that

      Baaah, nasty! But thanks very much, you're absolutely right: I found the patch and as it appears, Gentoo (of all systems!) modifies ExtUtils::MM the same bullshit way as all the Debians :(

      Time to complain on some mailing list ...
