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?

No, 2.021 is not stable.

Please `grep -r Compress /etc/portage /var/lib/portage/world`

Ah, that was it. I left ~x86 on IO-Compress in my package.keywords...
why I cannot remember, perhaps to fix an issue earlier. But I'm not in
the habit of unmasking perl stuff. Thank you for your time.
