fresh install from stage3 image, changing to ~amd64 and emerge -auvDN world failes because perl would be installed later by the dependencies. I think rsync needs perl to be build, especially the version in the title. I'm not sure if other versions too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -uv rsync Actual Results: rsync fails to build. Expected Results: rsync to be built. Installing dev-libs/perl

edit: * Installing dev-lang/perl fixes.
the mkproto.pl usage is not necessary. better to fix the build to not require perl at all.
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Avoid regenerating proto.h which requires perl -- the shipped one should work in all places we care about http://sources.gentoo.org/net-misc/rsync/rsync-3.0.9-r2.ebuild?r1=1.3&r2=1.4 http://sources.gentoo.org/net-misc/rsync/rsync-3.0.9.ebuild?r1=1.9&r2=1.10
