Description Scott Bertilson 2007-05-11 20:07:31 UTC

Trying to install Net-LPR using g-cpan, which has a dependency on IO::Socket.  It ends up trying to satisfy it using dev-lang/io:
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-lang/io-1.2301" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-lang/io-2006.12.07 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
From /usr/local/portage/perl-gcpan/Net-LPR:
DEPEND="
        >=dev-lang/io-1.2301
"
Changing the DEPEND to a null string builds and installs a working module.


Reproducible: Always

The quick and dirty fix is to remove "dev-lang", from line 38 of the g-cpan script (its what I'm doing in cvs atm). Thanks for bringing this up :)

Can't reproduce anymore.
