Hi all,

Just wanted to post here to say that this specific issue seems to be
resolved. This whole process of upgrading Bugzilla from V2.22 to V3.0.3 on
my Windows 2003 Adv. Server box has been a painful ordeal, and it is not
over yet. But for others that may have problems related to any of this, I
want to post the resolution.

Essentially, using the ppm GUI, Edit | Preferences | Repositories tab to see
that I had misspelt Winnipeg as Winnepeg (yes, I lose my Cdn citizenship
over this one!). Once I had deleted these misspelt repositories (press the
no-entry sign in the leftmost column) and added it properly, I could then
see the 'Email-MIME-Modifier' package.

Then based upon Thorsten Schöning's post at the bottom of this link
http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=mozilla...7-05&t=4344928
which states that the PPM program has changed in ActivePerl V5.8.8.820 [NB:
I am running V5.8.8.822], I chose to ignore the message about having to
perform the 'ppm repo up theory58S' command (and the corresponding error
message that 'up' is not recognized. Instead, I simply ran the PPM GUI and
installed 'Email-MIME-Modifier' V1.442, then closed the GUI and re-ran
checksetup.pl.

This solved the problems below. More problems have arisen relating to
needing to remove the duplicate DBI packages and UTF8 encoding, but I'll
close this thread at this point.

Cheers,
David
