[gentoo-user] perl-cleaner always wants to rebuild certain packages

[Daniel Frey]

I updated a machine today, it's fully up to date and depclean'ed.

For some reason, perl-cleaner consistantly wants to rebuild some packages:

====================
# perl-cleaner --all
  * Removing perl-core packages from world file
  *    emerge --deselect  perl-core/File-Path perl-core/File-Temp
 >>> No matching atoms found in "world" favorites file...

  * Beginning a clean up of .ph files
  * Excluding files for 5.24.1 and 5.24.1/x86_64-linux from cleaning

  * Locating ph files for removal

  * Locating packages for an update
  * Locating ebuilds linked against libperl
  *   Adding to list: sys-apps/texinfo:0
  *   Adding to list: www-apache/mod_perl:1
  *   Adding to list: net-irc/irssi:0
  * emerge -v1 --backtrack=200 --selective=n sys-apps/texinfo:0 
www-apache/mod_perl:1 net-irc/irssi:0


======================

I've rebuilt them twice already, and ran perl-cleaner again to see if it 
cleared, but it still wants to rebuild them. What is perl-cleaner 
looking for when it decides something needs to be rebuilt?

Perl version:

It's most likely a bug in perl-cleaner (not fixed yet because other stuff is 
more important atm). Running it once should be enough.

Great, thanks for the clarification. I found reports for texinfo but 
nothing for the other two.

I've been seeing the texinfo one for a year or several. I don't have any 
others though.
