Like it says in the summary, I am trying to build the dependencies for mythtv.  Please let me know if any other info is requested.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge XML-SAX-Writer
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
failed install of package

Expected Results:  
want package to be installed, and continue on with other mythtv dependencies

Since the test that's failing is using Text::Iconv, let's confirm you have
that. Please report back the results of the following:

perl -e 'use Text::Iconv; my $version = $Text::Iconv::VERSION; print
"$version"'

Same problem here, so I'll reply. The output of the command is "1.4"

I think is in an incompatibility between the version of Text::Iconv that the
author of XML::SAX::Writer used when writing the tests, and the version that is
currently available (1.4). Would you be willing to remove the line
SRC_TEST="do" from the XML-SAX-Writer ebuild and verify that the modules/apps
that depended on this can proceed installing correctly?

the output on my box is "1.3" for
perl -e 'use Text::Iconv; my $version = $Text::Iconv::VERSION; print "$version"'  

I did
emerge /usr/portage/dev-perl/Text-Iconv/Text-Iconv-1.4.ebuild

but the output remained 1.3, I don't know if I should be worried about this??

I removed the line SRC_TEST="do" from the XML-SAX-Writer ebuild, and the emerge process went fine after that.  After XML-SAX-Writer merged successfully, I restarted 
emerge --onlydeps mythtv mythvideo mythdvd mythtv-themes

it failed this time on XML-Twig-3.13.  I found another bug entry for that and did 
emerge /usr/portage/dev-perl/XML-Twig/XML-Twig-3.15.ebuild

and that worked fine.  Then restarted 
emerge --onlydeps mythtv mythvideo mythdvd mythtv-themes

everything else went fine, along with the install of mythtv itself and it's components.  Thanks for solving my problem, hopefully I won't encounter any probs.

Created an attachment (id=38458) [edit]
Patched ebuild to include the Text-Iconv patch

Created an attachment (id=38459) [edit]
Patch to fix Text-Iconv problem from http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=7436

(From update of attachment 38458 [edit])
This patch allows the ebuild to complete the tests successfully, instead of
just not running them. Uses the other attached patch (iconvclass.patch)

*** Bug 59929 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

*** Bug 62077 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

The patches from #6 and #7 work fine on x86.  Time for a -r1 ebuild?

Ian - thanks for finding the patch on this one. -r1 was committed about 20
minutes ago containing the patch. Please reopen this bug if the problem
persists, but this patch should just about cover it completely.
