Bug 25353 – emerge perl-5.8.0-r12 blocked

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Thomee Wright 2003-07-27 01:05:13 UTC]

When I try to update world, perl-5.8.0-r12 is blocked, preventing me from
updating.  This might be related to a problem with portage-2.0.48-r6... my first
problem was that portage would crash when trying to update world.  I checked for
an update, and ended up downgrading.  Both my machines had been running r6, and
had to be downgraded to r5 before things worked properly.  After resolving that
problem, I ran into this:

euripedes:~$ sudo emerge -u --deep world
Calculating world dependencies ...done!

!!! Error: the <dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r6 package conflicts with this
package and both can't be installed on the same system together.
euripedes:~$ sudo emerge -p -u --deep world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[blocks B    ] <dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r6 (from pkg
dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12)
[blocks B    ] <dev-perl/Test-Simple-0.47-r1 (from pkg dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12)
[blocks B    ] <dev-perl/File-Spec-0.84-r1 (from pkg dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12)

[ebuild    U ] dev-perl/Storable-2.07-r1 [2.07] 
[ebuild    U ] dev-perl/PDL-2.4.0-r1 [2.4.0] 

euripedes:~$ sudo emerge -p -u perl

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B    ] <dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r6 (from pkg
dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12)
[blocks B    ] <dev-perl/Test-Simple-0.47-r1 (from pkg dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12)
[blocks B    ] <dev-perl/File-Spec-0.84-r1 (from pkg dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12)
[ebuild    U ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12 [5.8.0-r10] 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -u world
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Portage gives an error about conflicting packages, then quits.

Expected Results:  
Portage should have updated packages which needed updating.

euripedes:~$ sudo emerge info
