I was emerging xmltv which has a huge list of perl-modules as dependencies. The emerge stoppped at dev-perl/ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.18 with the error "can't locate Module/Build.pm". I found out that this Build.pm belongs to module-build, unfortunately "emerge module-build" wanted to first emerge ExtUtils-CBuilder. I then used emerge -pte ExtUtils-CBuilder to locate all other dependencies for that package. After I emerged by hand perl-Test-Harness, IO-String and Archive-Tar (I think they installed some more dependencies by their own), emerge module-build didn't want to emerge ExtUtils-CBuilder first, so then it was all ok. I think there is a wrong dependency somewhere that should be fixed.
I have the the same problem while emerging frozen-bubble.
I do have a little problem with this package: # FEATURES="test" emerge =module-build-0.28 -p These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

this should be resolved now, there was a logic bug in the perl-module.eclass. Please emerge sync (fix went in earlier this week) and confirm?

fixed. there were two deps that were listed as "recommended" (but not required) that ended up causing a loop back dep on module-build itself.
dev-perl/ExtUtils-CBuilder was a missing dependancy for dev-perl/Pod-Coverage
(In reply to comment #6) > dev-perl/ExtUtils-CBuilder was a missing dependancy for dev-perl/Pod-Coverage > different bug ;) and apparently not true. I think you just need to synch up - pod-coverage depends on module-build, this bug was fixed in the tree a few hours ago and may not have hit your local mirror. just for grins: $ more Build.PL use strict; use Module::Build; Module::Build ->new( module_name => "Pod::Coverage", license => 'perl', script_files => [ 'bin/pod_cover' ], build_requires => { 'Test::More' => 0, }, requires => { 'Devel::Symdump' => 2.01, 'Pod::Parser' => 1.13, 'Pod::Find' => 0.21, }, create_makefile_pl => 'passthrough', ) ->create_build_script; ( mcummings@paradox )-( 19:46:18 )-( Pod-Coverage-0.17 )-( 507 ) $ grep -risl cbuilder * ( mcummings@paradox )-( 19:46:29 )-( Pod-Coverage-0.17 )-( 508 ) $ see? no cbuilder calls whatsoever :)
this is all set. also see bug 137098 for related issues that were resolved this evening.
