I tried to install some packages from CPAN through g-cpan. Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with the original messages ... First, I did: # emerge -u perl-gcpan/Email-Send perl-gcpan/Email-MIME-Modifier perl-gcpan/Email-Reply perl-gcpan/Image-Magick perl-gcpan/Email-MIME-Attachment-Stripper # later, I did ... # g-cpan --install Email::Reply Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper Image::Magick Email::Send Email::MIME::Modifier CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /var/tmp/g-cpan/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Fri, 05 Jan 2007 17:24:48 GMT * g-cpan: Ebuild already exists for Email-MIME-Modifier * g-cpan: Ebuild already exists for Email-MIME-Attachment-Stripper * g-cpan: Ebuild already exists for Email-Reply * g-cpan: Ebuild already exists for PerlMagick * g-cpan: Ebuild already exists for Email-Send Calculating dependencies / emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=dev-perl/TimeDate-2.27".

There is no TimeDate-2.16 (ie, something else going on here). Let me see what 0.15_rc2 produces as deps for this module.
yep, 0.15_rc1 generates these ebuilds correctly. IIRC, there was a bug in which version number was getting printed where, but this is all fixed in 0.15_rc1 (which is in portage) and in 0.15_rc2. btw, why would you use g-cpan to build Image::Magick when the perl use flag for imagemagick does the same thing....?
