Bugzilla Bug 57372

After emerging SDL-perl-1.20.3 (current version in portage), frozen-bubble
refuses to start with

[SDL Init] Not a HASH reference at /usr/games/bin/frozen-bubble line 310.

Re-Emerging frozen-bubble yields no errors, but doesn't help, either.

Debian has this bug fixed:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=251816

Their patch for it seems to be at:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/patch-fb-sdlperl-1.20.3.diff?bug=251816&msg=3&att=1

(I don't know enough to make a patch for use in Gentoo, but hope this helps)

the patch mentioned in additional comment #1 works perfectly on my box. Might
be worth adding to the ebuild.

Nooo vital application failure!
... but there is already a patch..

but my frozen bubble dies on line 59
use fb_stuff;

Created an attachment (id=35832) [details]
updated e-build using the mentioned patch

Added the patch to cvs.  Thanks for the bug report.

The patch fixes only "frozen-bubble" but not "frozen-bubble-client". The client
gives the same error at line 319 with sdl-perl 1.20.3

This bug isn't solved, please reopen it as the current ebuild in portage
doesn't work. (v 1.18 2004/07/21 02:12:53)

My mistake, running /usr/portage/dev-lang/perl/files/libperl_rebuilder and then
emerging the indicated ebuilds solved the problem...
