Description Mathieu Rochette 2012-06-19 14:54:01 UTC
Changlog of virtual/perl-DB_File says:

 21 May 2012; Torsten Veller <tove@gentoo.org> -perl-DB_File-1.826.0.ebuild,
+perl-DB_File-1.826.0-r1.ebuild:
Add perl-5.16 as provider 

but mail-filter/qmail-scanner does not works with perl-5.16 only

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge qmail-scanner
2. emerge world -uDN
3. emerge --depclean
Actual Results:  
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl from qmail-scanner does not works anymore

Expected Results:  
nothing should have changed

emerging perl-core/perl-DB_File solves this

I'm not really sure what should be done, qmail-scanner dependending on earlier version of virtual or virtual still dependaing on perl-core/perl-DB_File

(I selected major severity because email will be blocked in queue until qmail-scanner is disabled or perl-core/perl-DB_File is emerged back)

Did you emerge perl with USE=berkdb? It's wrong in the virtual.

> Did you emerge perl with USE=berkdb? It's wrong in the virtual.

it wasn't. I tried with perl[berkgdb] after unmerging perl-DB_File and it works.

so I guess virtual/perl-DB_File should depend on perl[berkdb]
Comment 3 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-06-19 19:12:28 UTC
Fixed in perl-DB_File-1.826.0-r2.
Thanks
