Hello list: |
| 2 |
Okay, after latest portage sync, all these perl compression modules |
| 3 |
have gone awry, again. The problem reported by emerge -DNu world -pv |
| 4 |
is: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "~dev-lang/perl-5.10.1". |
| 7 |
(dependency required by "virtual/perl-IO-Compress-2.020" [installed]) |
| 8 |
(dependency required by "world" [argument]) |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
And in my latest sync, it seems emerge is not lying, there really is |
| 11 |
no ebuild for perl-5.10, masked or not. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Actually peeking at the ebuild for virtual/perl-IO-Compress-2.020 shows: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
RDEPEND="|| ( ~dev-lang/perl-5.10.1 ~perl-core/IO-Compress-${PV} )" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
which, as I understand, makes the ebuild depend upon either of those |
| 18 |
packages (though I'm not sure what the ~ means in that context). |
| 19 |
Also, I already have perl-core/IO-Compress-2.020, what?! |
| 20 |
Alsooo, the latest stable version of perl-core/IO-Compress is actually |
| 21 |
2.021, and a simple emerge perl-core/IO-Compress gives: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy |
| 24 |
">=virtual/perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.021" have been masked. |
| 25 |
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: |
| 26 |
- virtual/perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.021 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge |
| 29 |
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |
| 30 |
(dependency required by "perl-core/IO-Compress-2.021" [ebuild]) |
| 31 |
(dependency required by "perl-core/IO-Compress" [argument]) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I blindly tried perl-cleaner reallyall, which rebuilt some modules, |
| 34 |
but didn't help the current conundrum. |
| 35 |
I don't see any related bugs, and latest entries in the relevant |
| 36 |
ebuilds' changelogs are dated 8/26 (though I'm not sure if thats the |
| 37 |
same day the new ebuild made it into portage), and I'm still a |
| 38 |
relatively young gentoo user, so I'm assuming something is wrong on my |
| 39 |
end... but I'm getting frustrated with these perl compression |
| 40 |
modules... in my few months as a user, they've caused several problems |
| 41 |
for portage. Any thoughts or suggestions? |
