[gentoo-user] dev-lang/perl:0 - problem

[Joseph]

I've not updated to two months and now I'm getting dependency problem with "dev-lang/perl"

  (dev-lang/perl-5.20.2:0/5.20::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    =dev-lang/perl-5.20.2* required by (virtual/perl-File-Spec-3.480.100-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
    ^              ^^^^^^^                                                                                                                                                 
    (and 38 more with the same problem)

  (dev-lang/perl-5.18.2-r2:0/5.18::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
    dev-lang/perl:0/5.18=[-build(-)] required by (dev-perl/Crypt-PasswdMD5-1.400.0:0/0::gentoo, installed)
                 ^^^^^^^^                                                                                                                     
    (and 94 more with the same problem)

How to solve it? I don't want to mess with perl and ended up with "emerge" not working.

Did you try perl-cleaner? (emerge app-admin/perl-cleaner)

If "perl-cleaner --all" doesn't fix it, then do it the long way round:

unmerge Crypt-PasswdMD5, emerge perl-5.20.2 then emerge Crypt-PasswdMD5
back. There may be more perl modules causing the same issue before you
can successfully emerge perl-5.20.2. List them and do the above for all.

emerge does not use prel. It uses python.
You are safe.

emerge is written in python, so no worries there, you can't break it with perl.

Sadly, with each new portage version the solution to these problems varies a bit. 

What you can try is
  emerge --deselect -a $(qlist -IC 'perl-core/*')
  emerge -ua1v dev-lang/perl $(qlist -IC 'virtual/perl-*')
and afterwards again
  emerge -uDNav world


If this does not help, another (slightly radical) try would be
  emerge -aC $(qlist -IC 'virtual/perl-*') $(qlist -IC 'perl-core/*')
and afterwards
  emerge -uDNav world
(which re-installs virtuals and perl-core packages if necessary)

(This should not break anything since 1) virtuals dont contain any files, so temporarily removing them does not hurt your system, and 2) perl-core/* packages are updated versions of things that are already inside dev-lang/perl, so by removing stuff from perl-core you are just effectively downgrading these for the moment.)

perl-cleaner should be run *after* perl has been upgraded, not before.

If you still have problems, the output of emerge with the option "--verbose-conflicts" would be interesting (this shows the full list of the "xxx with the same problem").

Here's something else that might be worth a try and that I just remembered, 
if possible try it before anything else. 

Take the text block below (copied from /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask) 
and place it in your /etc/portage/package.unmask (to locally unmask 5.18 again), 
then try upgrading. 
(It would be *very* interesting to know if this helps... :)

To be a little safer, you could run

quickpkg $(qlist -IC 'virtual/perl-*') $(qlist -IC 'perl-core/*')

first, to make reverting easier if you need to.
