[gentoo-dev] Perl 5.8.0 upgrade and access violations

[gentoo-dev] Perl 5.8.0 upgrade and access violations

[pdcawley]

So, being a fairly serious perl hacker, I upgrade from perl 5.6.1 to
5.8.0 using the new 5.8.0 ebuild, which went in pretty cleanly, or so
it seemed. Then, because perl 5.8.0's XS based modules are not binary
compatible with those from 5.6.1, I did:

$ qpkg dev-perl -nc -I | xargs sudo emerge

to remerge all my perl modules (yeah, it'd've made sense to only
emerge the binary ones, but hey, processor time is cheap) and came
across a problem. From the relevant part of the ebuild output:


>>> Install Digest-HMAC-1.01 into /var/tmp/portage/Digest-HMAC-1.01/image/ category dev-perl
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: perl_perlinfo: command not found
ACCESS DENIED  mkdir:     /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Digest
mkdir /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Digest: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 137
make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 255

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function perl-module_src_install, Line 18, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

--------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY ---------------------------LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-Digest-HMAC-1.01-8179.log"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------!!! emerge aborting on  /usr/portage/dev-perl/Digest-HMAC/Digest-HMAC-1.01.ebuild .

I presume this is because there's something sandbox related that
assumes perl modules go in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1, but I can't
for the life of me find what I need to change to fix this. What should
I do?

It's definitely a sandbox issue. I got the same error when attempting to
duplicate your emerge. I disabled sandbox in my make.globals and it
installed perfectly.

So, how does one tweak sandbox so it'll allow writes to that
directory?

OK, maybe a slight recant. The problem arises when sandbox is enabled -
not exactly the same thing as it being sanboxes problem. Taking a look
at the Ext*/Install.pm, there are some differences between how perl
5.6.1 and 5.8.0 install a module - different methods for touching and
creating directories/files, and it looks like that could be why sandbox
is throwing a fit. May need better brains than mine to look at this
further, but I'll keep looking anyway ;)
