Description Edward Moyse 2003-07-27 02:03:45 UTC

I've just tried installing Gentoo for the first time, so I guess I might be doing something stupid but I don't think so.
Anyway, I've just tried to do:
emerge sync
emerge -up world
emerge -u world
and it fails with the following error message:
!!! Error: the <dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05.r6 package conflicts with this package and both can't be installed ....

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Follow instructions on LiveCD gentoo1.4_rc4
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
as explained in summary

Expected Results:  
installed gentoo!

ExtUtils-MakeMaker is blocking the perl upgrade.

$ emerge -C ExtUtils-MakeMaker
$ emerge -u world

This will do it.

You may also need to:

emerge -C File-Spec

I had to clean both File-Spec and ExtUtils-MakeMaker before I could:

emerge -u world.


Hope that helps.
