Bug 117380 – dev-perl/Carp-Assert-More dependency problem

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michele Beltrame 2006-01-01 12:47:49 UTC]

dev-perl/Carp-Assert-More depends on dev-perl/Scalar-List-Utils. However this ebuild doesn't exists (anymore?) since it's:

perl-core/Scalar-List-Utils

[Comment 1 Michele Beltrame 2006-01-01 13:06:35 UTC]

On second thought, since Scalar-List-Utils is now core maybe Carp-Assert-More shoudln't depend on it at all.

I changed Carp-Assert-More ebuild as follows:

@@ -15,6 +15,6 @@
 
 SRC_TEST="do"
 
-DEPEND="dev-perl/Scalar-List-Utils
+DEPEND="perl-core/Scalar-List-Utils
                dev-perl/Carp-Assert
                dev-perl/Test-Exception"

no side effects noticed. But not user if this is the proper fix?

This is fine, and works. However I do believe that dependancy should be removed soon or after, and also the perl-core/Scalar-List-Utils package since it's now bundled with Perl (since 5.8.0 I think).

Funny enough, the ebuild was fixed at about the time this bug was being filed. Because of legacy perl's still floating around, I'm leary on removing the ebuild from the tree since, although part of core, it is still maintained externally to perl releases (afaik anyway)
