Subject: [gentoo-user] scrooged perl 5.10 dependencies
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 01:08:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ce9f9c750908312208r5db38bdct787a7e27a4fd0f74@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello list:
Okay, after latest portage sync, all these perl compression modules
have gone awry, again. The problem reported by emerge -DNu world -pv
is:
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "~dev-lang/perl-5.10.1".
(dependency required by "virtual/perl-IO-Compress-2.020" [installed])
(dependency required by "world" [argument])
And in my latest sync, it seems emerge is not lying, there really is
no ebuild for perl-5.10, masked or not.
Actually peeking at the ebuild for virtual/perl-IO-Compress-2.020 shows:
RDEPEND="|| ( ~dev-lang/perl-5.10.1 ~perl-core/IO-Compress-${PV} )"
which, as I understand, makes the ebuild depend upon either of those
packages (though I'm not sure what the ~ means in that context).
Also, I already have perl-core/IO-Compress-2.020, what?!
Alsooo, the latest stable version of perl-core/IO-Compress is actually
2.021, and a simple emerge perl-core/IO-Compress gives:
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy
">=virtual/perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.021" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- virtual/perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.021 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "perl-core/IO-Compress-2.021" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "perl-core/IO-Compress" [argument])
I blindly tried perl-cleaner reallyall, which rebuilt some modules,
but didn't help the current conundrum.
I don't see any related bugs, and latest entries in the relevant
ebuilds' changelogs are dated 8/26 (though I'm not sure if thats the
same day the new ebuild made it into portage), and I'm still a
relatively young gentoo user, so I'm assuming something is wrong on my
end... but I'm getting frustrated with these perl compression
modules... in my few months as a user, they've caused several problems
for portage. Any thoughts or suggestions?
