Test::Harness likes to have Devel::CoreStack, but doesn't require it.

Looks good

package perl-core/Test-Harness-2.42 NOT merged

No package files given... Grabbing a set.
core ~ # qfile /usr/bin/prove
dev-lang/perl (/usr/bin/prove)
core ~ # qfile /usr/share/man/man1/prove.1.gz
dev-lang/perl (/usr/share/man/man1/prove.1.gz)

which perl version are you working with? I think this is fixed with 5.8.8, just
not 5.8.7 

I can confirm that this occurs with dev-lang/perl-5.8.7-r3 and
perl-core/Test-Harness-2.42, both current stable as of this writing. This
strikes for anything depending on virtual/perl-Test-Harness (or, of course,
Test-Harness itself), such as DBD-Pg.

syn up in a few hours. not a real fix (that would require the ripout we do in
5.8.8) but this brought to light that at no point was 5.8.7 being allowed to
fill the virtual. All set with the addtion of a virtual/perl-Test-Harness-2.48.
Please confirm after syncing that this isn't popping up any more. Thanks

Looks good here...
