I see that, but somehow it failed to emerge Locale-gettext automatically.

I'm not sure why this bug is marked as INVALID? I don't mind installing one package by hand, but I'd like to understand why this is not a bug? thanks!
Please re-evaluate this as multiple users are still experience this.

[ebuild R ] sys-apps/help2man-1.41.2 USE="nls" 0 kB [ebuild N ] dev-perl/Locale-gettext-1.50.0 8 kB Total: 2 packages (1 new, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 8 kB Sounds like you forgot to run `perl-cleaner --all` as instructed by perl's ebuild after perl upgrade which would have re-emerged Locale-gettext and other required packages, or otherwise they would indeed appear as missing From the duplicated bugs: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470208#c3 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449118#c2 Since this implies to every dev-perl/* package in whole tree, the decision for using subslot operators and how, should come from the perl@ developers -- a general consensus
I understand that this is (and why it is) resolved. I still need to ask, if it is somehow possible to fix this by getting perl-cleaner into world updates. It sounds bad, but I have stumbled into this many times when doing world updates and left them running over night. Just to find out next morning that 30% went okay, but because it failed to update help2man, because of (already correctly existing) dev-perl/Locale-gettext. Problem is solved next morning by running Locale-gettext update by hand and then doing help2man update. After this world update runs fine. This is from failed world update: --- Clip! --- >>> Emerging (157 of 388) sys-apps/help2man-1.43.3 * help2man-1.43.3.tar.gz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ...
