libcap needs perl to pre-process capability.h Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --depclean --with-bdeps=n (which removes perl as nothing depends on it since autotools are no more part of system) 2. emerge --oneshot libcap Actual Results: >>> Source prepared. >>> Configuring source in /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libcap-2.22/work/libcap-2.22 ... >>> Source configured. >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libcap-2.22/work/libcap-2.22 ... make -j2 make -C libcap all make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libcap-2.22/work/libcap-2.22/libcap' => making cap_names.list.h from /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libcap-2.22/work/libcap-2.22/libcap/../libcap/include/linux/capability.h perl -e 'while ($l=<>) { if ($l =~ /^\#define[ \t](CAP[_A-Z]+)[ \t]+([0-9]+)\s+$/) { $tok=$1; $val=$2; $tok =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/; print "{\"$tok\",$val},\n"; } }' /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libcap-2.22/work/libcap-2.22/libcap/../libcap/include/linux/capability.h | fgrep -v 0x > cap_names.list.h /bin/sh: perl: command not found make[1]: *** [cap_names.list.h] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libcap-2.22/work/libcap-2.22/libcap' make: *** [all] Error 2 emake failed
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Do not require perl to build http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-libs/libcap/files/libcap-2.22-no-perl.patch?rev=1.1 http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-libs/libcap/libcap-2.22.ebuild?r1=1.7&r2=1.8
