1 Hey, all --
2
3 I have two systems, one of which got perl 5.16.1, somehow. My other
4 system is still at perl 5.12... and I'm having a heck of a time trying
5 to upgrade that system to 5.16.1.
6
7 Is there some trick that I should recall?
8
9 This is what I tried:
10
11 USE="-build" emerge -v =dev-lang/perl-5.16.1
12
13 And this is what I got:
14
15 (dev-lang/perl-5.12.4-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
16 ~dev-lang/perl-5.12.4 required by
17 (virtual/perl-i18n-langtags-0.35::gentoo, installed)
18
19 (dev-lang/perl-5.16.1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in
20 by =dev-lang/perl-5.16.1
21 >=dev-lang/perl-5.16 required by
22 (dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL-1.840.0::gentoo, installed)
23 =dev-lang/perl-5.16* required by
24 (virtual/perl-digest-base-1.170.0-r1::gentoo, installed) (and 144
25 more with the same problems)
26
27 144 more with the same problem? There must be some incantation that
28 handles all that, no?
29
30 Thanks for any pointers, foax!
31
32 Cheers,
