1 Hello list,
2
3 Today's routine update included dev-lang/perl-5.20.2 and two perl virtuals.
4 Since emerging those portage has stopped working: perl-cleaner gives it a
5 list of 71 packages to emerge but portage does nothing with them - it just
6 exits silently. Then perl-cleaner lists some hundreds of files that it can't
7 do anything with.
8
9 What's going on here?
10
11 I've restored from last week's backup and added the offending perl packages
12 to package.mask, but is that the right thing to do?
