Bug 127048 – virtual/perl-DB_File not linked to perl-core/DB_File

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dirk 2006-03-21 02:10:37 UTC]

an emerge of virtual/perl-DB_File is installing DB_File but does not provide the perl-core/DB_File in the portage dependancy tree. Since perl-cleaner is cleaning out DB_File and reemerging virtual/perl-DB_File the next emerge is installing perl-core/DB_File again.

Emerge the real ebuild, not the virtual...

this would solve the problem. But than there is still the problem of perl-cleaner since perl-cleaner emerges the virtual ...

and this clearly diff. with the other perl - packages like Time-Local. here the virtual provides the right dependancy

perl-cleaner doesn't unmerge anything, it merely re-emerges what's installed. Don't know what kind of dependency you are talking about either, Time-Local and DB_File virtuals are exactly the same wrt dependencies, just check the ebuilds. If you want to install something, then install the real thing, not virtual. It's not meant for such use.

Just seeing these bugs (sorry) - please confirm perl-cleaner version. Latest (admittedly ~arch'd still) has a 'fix' for making sure your virtuals are up to date.

I'm sorry but at least on my system perl-cleaner is doing first an emerge -C and than an emerge of the virtual package. And this leaves at least mit DB-file the dependancy unresolved.
