All answers to such questions are contained in the ebuild. Looking into them |
| 27 |
is an investigative technique I *highly* recommend. From |
| 28 |
virtual/perl-IO-Compress/perl-IO-Compress-2.020.ebuild: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
RDEPEND="|| ( ~dev-lang/perl-5.10.1 ~perl-core/IO-Compress-${PV} )" |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
So, virtual/perl-IO-Compress does not in fact DEPEND on perl-5.10.1. |
| 33 |
It DEPENDS on either perl-5.10.1 or IO-Compress-2.020 |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I bet you have the virtual installed and not the explicit ebuild. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
emerge =IO-Compress-2.020 |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
ought to solve your problem |
