Emerge of DB_File-1.815 stops during src_install (in dodoc), asking for keyboard input: Appending installation info to /var/tmp/portage/perl-core/DB_File-1.815/image//usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux/perllocal.pod * Cleaning out stray man files gzip: /var/tmp/portage/perl-core/DB_File-1.815/image/usr/share/doc/DB_File-1.815//Changes.gz already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? The problem is triggered by the new ecompress feature of portage, see bug #164971 for a discussion (and for emerge --info). Suggested bugfix: perl-module.eclass installs Change* MANIFEST* README* ${mydoc}, so in the ebuild the line mydoc="Changes" is redundant and should be removed.
Line removed - but that strikes me as a bug in the new ecompress feature. I'll look around for other cases (and wonder why i didn't hit this when i tested the ebuild prior to commit...)
(In reply to comment #1) > (and wonder why i didn't hit this when i tested the ebuild prior to commit...) The behaviour actually depends on what compressor is selected by PORTAGE_COMPRESS: $ touch foo; gzip foo; touch foo; gzip foo gzip: foo.gz already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? $ touch bar; bzip2 bar; touch bar; bzip2 bar bzip2: Output file bar.bz2 already exists. So gzip asks for confirmation, while bzip2 silently aborts. I believe you should have ended up with both "Changes.bz2" and "Changes" installed.
