[gentoo-user] perl-5.20.1 - has anybody managed to upgrade Perl?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

dev-lang/perl-5.20.1 is in the tree (unmasked), but trying to upgrade  
gives me lots of blocks requiring versions which are not
in the tree, yet, like

[blocks B      ] <perl-core/Socket-2.13.0 ("<perl-core/Socket-2.13.0"  
is blocking virtual/perl-Socket-2.13.0)

Has anybody tried to upgrade to this version of Perl?

Many thanks for some hints/comments,
Helmut

Here is a generically applicable approach to handling upgrades in 
situations where a major dev-lang/perl update is queued.

1) emerge -auDN @world
2) If previous step fails: emerge -auDN --backtrack=30 @world
3) If previous step fails:
    a) emerge --deselect $(qlist -IC 'perl-core/*')
    b) Return to step #2
4) perl-cleaner -all
5) If previous step fails, follow the instructions in the error message
6) Re-select any perl modules that you may have explicitly requested

The final step won't apply to you unless you a Perl hacker.

I meant to include the step of running emerge --depclean just after 
successfully concluding steps 4 or 5.

emerge -av1 perl-cleaner
emerge -av1O dev-lang/perl
perl-cleaner --all

These two worked just fine, BUT

> perl-cleaner --all

fails miserably showing many blocks mentioning versions which are not  
in the (unstable) tree
like, e.g.

perl-core/File-Spec-3.480.0 (and 28 more of those)

Typically there is virtual/perl-File-Spec-3.480.0 which requires  
perl-core/File-Spec
of the same version, but (here) there is only  
perl-core/File-Spec-3.400.0

I wonder how all of you could get around this?

Many thanks for your help,
Helmut

virtual/perl-File-Spec-3.480.0.ebuild:
RDEPEND="
         || ( =dev-lang/perl-5.20.1* ~perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV} )
         !<perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV}
         !>perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV}-r999
"

this says that's you don't need any perl-core of this, because if you 
have perl 5.20.1* then it's already included in dev-lang/perl itself.

Emerge all your virtual/perl* packages and they will unmerge perl-core 
packages that are already included in the dev-lang/perl and then run 
perl-cleaner again.

Please try ~arch perl-cleaner and tell us if it works better!

I am on ~amd64 and did have these problems.

Only Tomas hints saved me, i.e.


emerge  -av1O dev-lang/perl
emerge -1 -j4 --keep-going `qlist -IC virtual/perl-`
emerge -1 perl-cleaner

Again, many thanks to Tomas,
Helmut

I don't have perl-core/File-Spec installed, so I did not run into that
one.  But I wonder if your tree is syncing properly or someting?

I have dont this, but I am using unstable, so maybe that is the
difference.  Portage did a lot of what perl-cleaner used to do, but I
still had to run it anyway.  A bit of strangeness, but it did work.

For me it JustWorked(tm):

$ eix -e perl
[I] dev-lang/perl
     Available versions:  5.16.3(0/5.16) 5.18.2-r1(0/5.18)
(~)5.20.0-r1(0/5.20) (~)5.20.1(0/5.20) {berkdb debug doc gdbm ithreads}
     Installed versions:  5.20.1(21:31:01 25/09/2014)(berkdb gdbm -debug
-doc -ithreads)
     Homepage:            http://www.perl.org/
     Description:         Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report
Language



The upgrade was seamless and ran to completion. Even perl-cleaner
afterwards returned nothing to do.

Have you checked your local package.* files looking for entries that
might interfere?
