My other system is still at perl 5.12... and I'm having a heck of a time trying to upgrade that system to 5.16.1. Is there some trick that I should recall? This is what I tried: USE="-build" emerge -v =dev-lang/perl-5.16.1 And this is what I got: (dev-lang/perl-5.12.4-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by ~dev-lang/perl-5.12.4 required by (virtual/perl-i18n-langtags-0.35::gentoo, installed) (dev-lang/perl-5.16.1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by =dev-lang/perl-5.16.1 >=dev-lang/perl-5.16 required by (dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL-1.840.0::gentoo, installed) =dev-lang/perl-5.16* required by (virtual/perl-digest-base-1.170.0-r1::gentoo, installed) (and 144 more with the same problems) 144 more with the same problem? There must be some incantation that handles all that, no? Thanks for any pointers, foax! Cheers, - Michael Higgins
