Assuming you did not ran the `perl-cleaner` script after updating perl as the ebuild told you. Otherwise reopen please.

I have not seen any request to run "perl-cleaner" during emerge. Please see the attached log. Piotr
Run perl-cleaner as instructed to when upgrading perl and reopen *if* that does not fix the problem.
(In reply to comment #4) > Run perl-cleaner as instructed to when upgrading perl and reopen *if* that does > not fix the problem. I am a bit puzzled by your answers. What do you mean by "upgrading perl"? Which package are we talking about? The emerge installed 2 perl packages before installing gnupod: [ebuild N ] dev-perl/MP3-Info-1.02-r1 53 kB [ebuild N ] dev-perl/Unicode-String-2.07 59 kB When should I run pearl-cleaner? After the last one? In any case there is no clear indication in the emerge output of what to do here! So IMHO this is a bug. Please don't expect that every user is a perl expert. I will not reopen the bug since you guys closed it twice but I sure think that this ebuild does not work right. Piotr
(In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #4) You should run perl-cleaner after *every* perl upgrade. The problem you described has zillion duplicates and all of theme are caused by *not* running perl-cleaner after upgrading dev-lang/perl (see Bug 41124).
