Description Brian Jackson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-14 11:48:40 UTC 
When I run emerge with the upgradeonly option, it fails with an error about 
sys-devel/perl which as you probably know doesn't exist anymore. It was moved to 
dev-lang/perl. So I added a line to /var/cache/edb/virtuals pointing sys-devel/perl to 
dev-lang/perl. I don't know if this is the correct way to fix it, but it worked for me. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ emerge -pU --deep --world 
2. 
3. 
Actual Results:  
fails with sys-devel/perl error 

Expected Results:  
worked 

it only occurs for me when I run --deep with --upgradeonly, but I suspect that might 
not be true for everyone.

usually this would work:

rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep*
emerge sync
emerge regen
