The impression I got was you were trying to stick with perl 5.24 The point is *if* you're sticking with perl 5.24 ( which is current stable ) then by design, you need the set of virtuals that specify perl 5.24. If you try to use "~amd64" virtuals with an "amd64" perl, portage will try to install the newest versions of those virtuals, which in turn force installing perl 5.26 Hence, you need to use a paired combination of dev-lang/perl and virtuals. Just the mechanism by which we make this pairing happens is via stability levels. Hence, if you wanted to use Perl 5.24, you would need to do more than merely mask perl 5.26, you would need to mask the virtuals that tell portage to install perl 5.26 as well. --Sig_/SwtjDEtEh7vo0Oho5bKaLff Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEPZazbI/qrFT1o9rn6FQySxNmqCAFAlotSlMACgkQ6FQySxNm qCAtkxAAj1yuadE619CTLvOs9ySgZxWhNWxZy9u6LOw6BnQEYD4/jfqBd5QOGUjA JIlSWpHkin3+wE6j0Ok/U5tKiF+aR0zD32PmFcziDWb9cY9WZB8i1oa7KDqbYG2Q i1bpGnM3JP+34g0I0pzRn+HvjHYeob6XNgIvEJ9Pwolg6LQ2w4muyoVBwQm7FiC/ NGLyj8twBYe7SCdm3syqqOLFbfuG0xaRsnghhyNX8ArcBBWKQqVHeAW/j2eqz1sA LbAbZ5UFAWTKCgheGFkgV1qKTKvSCXuAmEebYzaf5Z20mMkydARB26SJuja/Fj5p d/Vr4CifryYOefmPbKG5tXCE7xODofCu1GxHSzxvXaAtfFYGmwrZMmUsfE3RPlVA Toix+MoTgDI4cmTqgtUP0OFAigHnwvNijl7UyQ6kVj7JvkUZp3wIyyKzr8a4Xpma /w3W+o2F3GKI5cZZuaumtA0G6v/kmDYCLJNkk9gl+uNB4ulcICsmGtQreGDQc0bg fPXfzPDiqahVZOTwdvaBMKhZhs8BjylvIcXdPbQyDAcDaMYPMwwSda66tfKBkPIo xkqYeXvVZ5zJb/M6/uaw2DTrLf+eu6d2vw/RQdRwfPutAMzXuFuuVVvrF5I1oXgN 1U8GMBlldOJmVIvHRAIkHaXJqmDOnjibi43Mzswai4J2z6ji9ys= =wt3E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/SwtjDEtEh7vo0Oho5bKaLff--
