Description Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-13 02:49:43 UTC 
DEPEND="virtual/perl-MIME-Base64
	virtual/perl-Encode
	dev-perl/MIME-Charset"

-->

virtual/perl-Encode : 
RDEPEND="|| ( ~dev-lang/perl-5.12.1 ~perl-core/Encode-${PV} )"


perl-core/Encode :
RDEPEND="!!<dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r8"



Proposed solutions: 

a) remove the dep on virtual/perl-Encode  ( we can assume it exists for all working perls because its in  5.8 ) 

b) create a virtual for perl-Encode-2.12 which depends on ~perl-5.8.8

( This problem was discovered after conversing with "Inssomniak" about their issue in #gentoo-perl )

Adding perl-core/Encode to package.keywords works (for stable users).
