perl modules are blocking deep world update because of bogus dependency on perl 5.10 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Atttempt to update "world" 2. MRO-Compat-0.09 fails 3. MRO-Compat-0.09-r1 fails Wants perl 5.10.0 (not in stable tree, why the dependency?) Actual Results: I checked with #gentoo-perl No real help or any explanation there. Finally just unmasked every perl module in the tree in order to have a day. This can't be the approved solution, can it? Expected Results: Can't update world No blocks resulting from modules ALREADY INSTALLED, allowing update to world
Hi, Where does MRO-Compat come from? I cannot find it. Also, please post your emerge --info and the emerge output saying it is blocked. Thanks.
found it: http://svn.danieltwc.com/overlays/perl-common/trunk/dev-perl/ Regardless, We can't control external overlays. So, you need to contact the author about your problem here. Thanks.
I guess this is from the perl-experimental overlay [1] where also perl-5.10 resides. [1] http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/perl/browser/perl-experimental

Fixed in MRO-Compat-0.09-r2 (perl-experimental) Please test and let me know.
This is the initial problem. After sync, emerge system. Accept case and s/core/dev name changes to /etc/portage/package.keywords (odd, but IDK if related). Then emerge world: echo >nohup.out ; nohup emerge -puDNtv world & tail -f nohup.out [1] 24332 nohup: ignoring input and appending output to `nohup.out' These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies .. !!! Problem resolving dependencies for dev-perl/catalystframework emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=dev-perl/perl-5.10.0". (dependency required by "dev-perl/MRO-Compat-0.09" [installed]) !!! Depgraph creation failed. So, I'll try to update: emerge -av '>dev-perl/MRO-Compat-0.09' These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies \ !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">dev-perl/MRO-Compat-0.09" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-perl/MRO-Compat-0.09-r2 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) - dev-perl/MRO-Compat-0.09-r1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) (How did I install it to begin, if it's masked? I don't understand what happened.) echo 'dev-perl/MRO-Compat ~x86' >>/etc/portage/package.keywords emerge -1av '=dev-perl/MRO-Compat-0.09-r2' Messages for package dev-perl/MRO-Compat-0.09-r2: Thanks! ;-) Then : Calculating world dependencies . !!! Ebuilds for the following packages are either all !!! masked or don't exist: dev-perl/Module-Install dev-perl/DateTime-Format-MySQL dev-perl/catalystframework ??? First it has unresolvable dependencies, then it disappears?!? [D] dev-perl/catalystframework [1] Available versions: ~5.7013 ~5.7014 ~5.7015 Installed versions: 5.7014(03:31:04 PM 09/15/2008) Homepage: http://www.catalystframework.org/ Description: Meta package for Catalyst - The Elegant MVC Web Application Framework, and all the plugins you need to get started [1] "perl-experimental" /usr/portage/local/layman/perl-experimental So, I can't figure why it sez it can't find it... oh, it's masked. I see. SO who masked it and why? Aside, I got this advice too: (11:16:37 AM): hey (11:17:59 AM): I just read your emssages in #gentoo-perl. MRO-Compat depends on either perl 5.10.0 OR (Class-C3 AND Class-C3-XS) (11:18:15 AM): so installing those ebuild would probably do the trick (04:24:49 PM) ME: Sorry, not very good with IRC. I got some help via new sync, another version works. Also: (04:24:50 PM) User is not logged in (04:24:57 PM) ME: package MRO::Compat; use strict; use warnings; require 5.006_000; (04:24:57 PM) User is not logged in ... So, I think there is not dependency on 5.10.0 -- from what I see it is 5.6. Can anyone shed some light on why this happened and why perl stuff got suddenly masked? ;-)
All the ebuilds of perl-experimental have been marches (by ~arch keyword) because it was a requirement for being in the perl-experimental overlay. The mistake was in me not having masked all those packages in the first place. The easiest thing you can do is add all the packages of perl-experimental to you /etc/packages.keywords. This can be done automatically: ls -1 /usr/portage/local/layman/perl-experimental/dev-perl/ | awk '{ print "dev-perl/" $1 " ~amd64"}' >>/etc/portage/package.keywords Michele.
I think this one is fixed.
