[gentoo-user] x11-misc/shared-mime-info update problem...

[Jarry]

Hi Gentoo-users,

while trying to update my box I ran into some problem with
x11-misc/shared-mime-info (updating from 1.0 to 1.2-r1).
Maybe someone could help me to understand what the problem is.

I see it failed in config-phase with:
"error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool"

But why was XML::Parser not pulled as dependency, when it
is required? What ebuild is it in?

Jarry

The proper dependency should be pulled in (x11-misc/shared-mime-info
depends on dev-util/intltool, which depends on dev-perl/XML-Parser).

My guess is that you recently upgraded perl, which might require you to
rebuild the perl modules. You can try rebuilding just
dev-perl/XML-Parser, but I recommend using perl-cleaner [1] to rebuild
all the modules:
    perl-cleaner --allmodules -v

And then try to rebuild shared-mime-info.

Pavel

You are right and this fixed my problem. Thanks! I really updated
perl recently but I did not know I had to run perl-cleaner. Never
heard of it. Should not it be done automaticaly, always after new
perl version has been installed?

Did ou not see this n the elog message from Perl?

UPDATE THE PERL MODULES:
After updating dev-lang/perl you must reinstall
the installed perl modules.
Use: perl-cleaner --all

perl ebuilds up to and including 5.14.2 used to give you an ewarn() that
said to run perl-cleaner, and how to do it. I see it's missing from the
5.16 series of ebuilds.

I didn't look into it too closely, but I would consider this a bug.
There is no easy way to just quickly discover that a module is built for
a previously installed version of perl - you can poke around in
/usr/lib/perl5/<version>/XML/Parser but that's not exactly easy to use.
And the failures are mysterious and hard to understand.

You might want to file a bug at b.g.o. about the lack of messages at the
end of a perl install.

The reason it is not done automatically is that it's a huge job. the
scripts has to find every perl module it can, check the version it is
built against and decide if it needs to be rebuilt then emerge it. This
can easily be 50-100 packages or more and can take longer than to build
firefox. Portage can't figure this out when emerging perl that's why it
doesn't do it, it is left to you to do manually. Same with python.

Golden rule:

When updating perl or python and a version change occurs, take note and
always run perl-cleaner or python-updater afterwards.

Well, I tested it on another computer and the problem is
perl and shared-mime-info are updated at the same update-run.
So I can find this message *after* update of shared-mime-info
already crashed. And I have to scroll way back to see any
perl-related messages...

You don't email yourself all of the emerge logs, so you don't have to 
worry about missing these kinds of messages?

I honestly can't see how anyone can reliably keep a gentoo system up to 
date without doing that...

I never rely on seeing the messages in a termnal and always have elogs
mailed to me.

As Neil and Charles already said, mail the elogs to yourself. Or you can
adjust the various LOG settings in make.conf and view the entries with
elogv (cli app) or elogviewer (qt gui app) or just less them - they are
in /var/log/portage/elog/


But all of this is CLEARLY laid out in one of the most important man
files you have - man 5 make.conf. Why have you not read it?


Do yourself a big favour and before you touch anything else on a Gentoo
system, do this. It will save you heaps of pain:

man emerge
man 5 portage
man 5 ebuild
man 5 make.conf

make sure you understand everything in there.

Sage advice indeed. And if you're really paranoid, run python-updater before 
perl-cleaner in case the way portage operates has been affected. Well, it may 
make no difference really but that's what I do.
