Description Ryan Kelley 2003-06-03 01:06:59 UTC 
I think there is a missing depending for /dev-perl/XML-Parser. I attempted to emerge this 
package and received the following error message 
root@rmkelley Documents # emerge XML-Parser 
Calculating dependencies ...done! 
>>> emerge (1 of 1) dev-perl/XML-Parser-2.31-r1 to /

I noticed that it seemed to be complaining about a missing perl package ExtUtils/MakeMaker. 
After poking around in dev-perl/ I found this package and emerged it. Then, I was able to 
successfully emerge XML-Parser. Should ExtUtils be specified as a dependency of XML-Parser?
Comment 1 Robert Coie (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-03 12:28:23 UTC 
This was probably caused by circumstances surrounding the tentative perl 5.6.1
removal, in which the ExtUtils-MakeMaker dependency was removed from perl-module.eclass.  Since it is back in now, this problem should not happen on a
freshly synced tree.
