1 Hi all,
2
3 I have Gentoo linux running on alpha. I would like to update the system.
4 When I do "emerge system -p" I get a list of the packages to merge:
5
6 >>>These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
7
8 Calculating system dependencies ...done!
9 [blocks B ] <dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r6 (from pkg
10 dev-lang/perl-5.8.3)
11 [ebuild N ] app-crypt/hashalot-0.2.0
12 ...
13 ...
14
15 The first package is the one that gives problem. When I try to update it
16 "emerge ExtUtils-MakeMaker -p" I get:
17
18 >>>These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
19
20 Calculating dependencies ...done!
21 [blocks B ] <dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r6 (from pkg
22 dev-lang/perl-5.8.3)
23 [ebuild U ] sys-devel/libperl-5.8.3 [5.8.0]
24 ...
25 ...
26
27 The same issue again. I cannot remove it either, "emerge unmerge
28 ExtUtils-MakeMaker -p" gives me:
29
30 >>>These are the packages that I would unmerge:
31
32 dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker
33 selected: 6.05-r5
34 protected: none
35 omitted: none
36
37 >>>'Selected' packages are slated for removal. 'Protected' and 'omitted'
38 >>>packages will not be removed.
39
40 I tried upgrading/removing/reinstalling Perl and Perl-dev. I always get
41 blocked on that particular ExtUtils-MakeMaker package.
42
43 Any ideas?

46 Thanks and regards
