[gentoo-user] g-cpan creates a file collision problem

[gentoo-user] g-cpan creates a file collision problem

[Grant]

I'm trying to install a perl module with g-cpan and it wants to
install perl-gcpan/Date-Manip-5.54 as a dependency of the perl module
I want to install.  I already have dev-perl/DateManip-5.54 installed
so I'm getting a file collision error.  Does anyone know how to fix
this?

 * Detected file collision(s):
 *
 * 	/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Date/Manip.pm
 * 	/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Date/Manip.pod

Are the files from both packages identical? If so, you can ignore the
collision (but if you unmerge one or the other, maybe they will
disappear and break the remaining package). If they are not identical,
then I guess you cannot have these two packages installed at the same
time without some manipulation (no pun intended).

Shouldn't g-cpan know that Date-Manip is already installed?  It seems
to be aware of dev-perl stuff.  I can't ignore the collision error
unless I inject the package into /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
since it stops the emerge.

Can you modify the g-pan created euild to depend on the dev-perl package?

Oops. My brain just hit a bad sector.

Thanks Neil, I'll just inject it.  It's weird though, because portage
came up with a list of dependencies for the perl module I wanted to
install which contained both dev-perl and perl-gcpan packages.  I
don't know why it's having trouble with Date-Manip.

Sure, you can just disable collision protection and then it'll overwrite :)
