(In reply to comment #0) > virtual/libintl is provided by dev-perl/libintl-perl Uhm no - it isn't. It's provided by sys-devel/gettext, but don't see how is this virtual relevant here. , which I re-emerged before > attempting to merge Locale-gettext on its own. libintl-perl merged > successfully, but Locale-gettext failed again. Locale-gettext depends on sys-devel/gettext, if you are missing that one for whatever weird reason (like --nodeps), it won't work. Locate-gettext emerges and works perfectly here w/o libintl-perl. Closing INVALID.
My apologies for thinking that the perl module named libintl had something to do with it then. Gettext was installed on the system, I re-emerged it and ran revdep-rebuild to make sure things would work. Locale-gettext still will not install.

and sys-devel/gettext (the dep in question i believe) is installed and happy?
In regards to the previous post: -------------------------- densha2 distfiles # emerge -p sys-devel/gettext These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] sys-devel/gettext-0.14.4 densha2 distfiles # ------------------------------------------------------------ I am installing from Universal 2005.1. The first error occurred when I was running 'emerge -qn -u -D world' This fubar's my install, so unless someone has a fix, I'm toast. CFLAGS="-march=i586 -Os -pipe -m3dnow" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" These both worked for the stage one install I did on my other mobo back in September 05. MOBO: EPIA-CL6000E (600MHz x86) RAM: 1 G Is there any other info I can provide that would help? Let me know! Thanks - Jd
(In reply to comment #4) > and sys-devel/gettext (the dep in question i believe) is installed and happy? > Yes, gettext was installed prior to the first attempt, and then I rebuilt it just to be sure.
Problem has been solved by switching to perl 5.8.6-r8 from -r5 since 5.8.7-r3 would not compile for me. I'll file a separate bug report for the 5.8.7-r3 compilation issue if I can get details on it (right now all I know is that some part of the make script causes bash to segfault in the middle of it) but for now I can continue the emerge system.
Well, I tried several things, here's what happened. emerge sys-devel/gettext emerge dev-perl/Locale-gettext FAILED again, same error after latest post about perl, I tried emerge perl etc-update emerge dev-perl/Locale-gettext and that worked... I suspect a problem in the dependency chain somehow, but hey, I'm not the expert in that, so I just hope it gets fixed and my next install doesn't hit that! Jd
I am seeing the same problem. Just build a 2006.0 system and am now doing a emerge -e world
This looks like a dependency problem to me. I went to reinstall perl and it had to download the tarball. Clearly, it was building the module before perl itself. Looking at the dependencies of Locale-gettext, I don't see perl. DEPEND="sys-devel/gettext >=virtual/perl-Test-Simple-0.54" There is: inherit perl-module So, perhaps perl-module is broken and does not actually force the installation of perl during an empty-tree build.
emerge perl works! It is definitely a dependency problem. Powers that be ... please fix ebuild or eclass.
use flags? because this is the perl-module eclass that should be getting invoked: 75 DEPEND=">=dev-lang/perl-5.8.2 !<perl-core/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.17" 76 RDEPEND="!minimal? ( ${DEPEND} )" so perl being installed is a requirement of the eclass (and since the ebuilds inherit the eclass, a dep of the ebuilds as well). I'm not disagreeing something freaky is happening here, just not convinced of the order of it all.
perl was installed. It just wasn't reinstalled. I was performing "emerge -e world" and it didn't trigger a rebuild of perl BEFORE the rebuild of the module; it should have.
sounds right. it might have triggered it if you had done a deep or something, but just -e would be everything, not necessarily in order. that's an issue to take up with the portage folks, not really relevant to this particular locale-gettext ebuild. (sorry)

Gettext seems to be installed right, but emerging Locale-gettext doesn't work right. The installation doesn't fail, just doesn't do anything, because it thinks -lintl is missing. Should it be linked with -lintl2 ??? Maybe just the test in Line 18 is wrong.

What I've gotten so far is that if you re-emerge perl as well as gettext, Locale-gettext will emerge ok. Not sure how to force people to re-emerge perl, though, and it sounds awful lot like a USE flag or env var is being invoked now that wasn't invoked in the perl built for your stage (grasping for ways for perl to be built completely different).
I think the root cause of the problem is that in new builds of gettext libintl.so has been renamed to preloadable_libintl.so, but I may be totally off. If you inspect the output of emerge -epv system, perl doesn't get built until after Locale-gettext, probably because Locale-gettext only depends on perl-Test-simple, which might only depend on libperl and not perl itself. Sadly, I am not knowledgeable enough the ebuild system to offer a fix. :)
(In reply to comment #19) > Sadly, I am not knowledgeable enough the ebuild system to offer a fix. :) see comment #12 - perl is a dep of the eclass, which is inherited by the ebuild, and therefore a dep of the ebuild. and i'm still having trouble dup'ing this bug - anyone else on the perl alias want to take a shot?
(In reply to comment #17) > And now it's not even properly noticing the failure and just merging an empty > package: fixed in the eclass and i think this whole may have been inadvertantly fixed in another bug dealing with where perl gets emerged in the early parts of the chain (because of a dep on coreutils, which pushed it around in the ordering a bit - but i could be wrong)
I'm using the grapical installer for 2006.0 and it just halts when it reaches the package. So the error is consistent. I know how to resolv the problem if I wanted to but it's bad for new users that aren't familiar to linux that the install don't work with the grapical install. I don't know if the dependency tree works for a normal install I haven't checked. but.... Keep up the great work guys. You really have a good thing going here.
(In reply to comment #22) > I'm using the grapical installer for 2006.0 fwiw, i believe this will be fixed in the 2006.1 release (I realize that does you no good now).
Can this bug be closed out?
I don't think it would be wise to close this defect out until it has been solidly verified ... this defect has been particularily resiliant in reappearing.
Oops ... my apology, I thought this was a different defect. I don't see any issues with closing it.
Closing :) (as always, this bug can be reopened if you need to, no mark is final, yada yada yada)
I ran in this problem too. I think i fixed it setting perl useflag. Please confirm it.
I've this problem too, using portage tree snapshot - 08.26.2006 "emerge -v --oneshot dev-perl/Locale-gettext" - didn't help me, My workaround is : step 1) USE="-nls" emerge perl step 2) emerge dev-perl/Locale-gettext

*** Bug 145808 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Still reproducible in 2008.0 installation media (at least what I tried which was a mininal CD). I didn't tried a emerge -e system. What I was trying is: after having grub and kernel configured and installed, reboot and do a emerge --sync && emerge -uDN world. The errors are the same as above (Locale-gettext ones). I didn't try the workarround of rebuilding perl firtst. Please, I think this must be taken into account, since it confuses a lot, and happens mostly when you don't have even X server installed, so you get stalled in the beginning of gentoo's installation (many thanks to the existence of links BTW) P.D. Can someone reopen this bug? I can't.

Reopened by user request
Is this still an issue with autobuilds? If yes please reopen.
