ive upgraded perl to version 5.8.6 and noticed amavisd wouldn't start. ive cleared and rebuilt all the dev-perl packages but amavisd still gives me error. might it be a problem with Archive-Tar ? It seems that none of the packages marked Unicode-string as a required one and this is the one that holds IO/String.pm # /etc/init.d/amavisd start * Starting amavisd-new ... Problem in the Amavis::Unpackers code: Can't locate IO/String.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i586-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/Archive/Tar.pm line 23.

oops i was wrong ; Unicode-string hold Unicode/String.pm and not IO/String.pm...
or maybe archive-tar's tar.pm needs io::string replaced with io::stringy ?
I'm having the same problem, this occured since I updated Archive-Tar, I fixed it by emerge IO-String. It appears the ebuild is missing a dependency. hope it gets fixed soon(putting IO-String in my world tree bugs me a little...).
Archive-Tar needs dependency IO-String...
emerging explicitely IO-String fixed it for me too. How come the package just went into stable when there is such a bug? Also, the summary needs to be changed to something like: "dev-perl/Archive-Tar depends on dev-perl/IO-String"

Guys, can you get this fixed please?

Because I'm human and after 2 months in ~arch there wasn't a single bug on it. Emerge sync, the dep has been added, sorry about that folks (and for my snap). I've verified the rest of the listed deps are covered.
FYI, there were actually at least 4 bugs opened: this one (opened Dec 5th), bug 73553 (Dec 6th), bug 76300 (Jan 1st) and bug 78608 (Jan 18th). I can't say about the human part though since I don't actually know you but I'll trust you on that :p. And thanks for the fix.
(face red about the dates and all) closing this one out as fixed now

Sorry to reopen, but as of right now, this doesn't appear to be fixed: $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/dev-perl/Archive-Tar/Archive-Tar-1.23.ebuild,v 1.5 2005/01/22 12:39:08 gustavoz Exp $ DEPEND="dev-perl/IO-Zlib >=dev-perl/Test-Harness-2.26"
Yay! One bug for me to every possible mistake at once in. OK, self ridicule aside...commited. And I've -r1'd it to make sure other folks who installed Archive-Tar reinstall it with the missing dep on io::string. sorry for all this folks, mike
