Subject: [gentoo-dev] Perl 5.8.0 upgrade and access violations

1 So, being a fairly serious perl hacker, I upgrade from perl 5.6.1 to
2 5.8.0 using the new 5.8.0 ebuild, which went in pretty cleanly, or so
3 it seemed. Then, because perl 5.8.0's XS based modules are not binary
4 compatible with those from 5.6.1, I did:
5
6 $ qpkg dev-perl -nc -I | xargs sudo emerge
7
8 to remerge all my perl modules (yeah, it'd've made sense to only
9 emerge the binary ones, but hey, processor time is cheap) and came
10 across a problem. From the relevant part of the ebuild output:
11
12
13 >>> Install Digest-HMAC-1.01 into /var/tmp/portage/Digest-HMAC-1.01/image/ category dev-perl
14 /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: perl_perlinfo: command not found
15 ACCESS DENIED mkdir: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Digest
16 mkdir /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Digest: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 137
17 make: *** [pure_site_install] Error 255
18
19 !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
20 !!! Function perl-module_src_install, Line 18, Exitcode 2
21 !!! (no error message)
22
23 --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY ---------------------------LOG FILE = "/tmp/sandbox-Digest-HMAC-1.01-8179.log"
24
25 mkdir: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Digest
26 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------!!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/dev-perl/Digest-HMAC/Digest-HMAC-1.01.ebuild .
27
28 I presume this is because there's something sandbox related that
29 assumes perl modules go in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1, but I can't
30 for the life of me find what I need to change to fix this. What should
31 I do?
