[Koha] 3.4.3 on opensuse 11.4 SMS::Send Date::ICal problem (solved)

[clint.deckard]

The issue with the bug in Unicode::UCD has been solved.
I first tried the workaround (installing perl-doc where UnicodeData.txt 
was erroneously packaged instead of with perl itself) but this didn't 
work as perl-doc has very recently been 'fixed' so that UnicodeData.txt 
is back in the main perl package. Installing perl-doc now doesn't 
install UnicodeData.txt. The solution was to update perl itself which 
now, correctly, has UnicodeData.txt included.
