Bug 278536 – amavisd-new casualty of IO-Compress-2.015 -> 2.020 update

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John Huttley 2009-07-21 01:57:40 UTC]

We have recently seen the perl people update the IO-Compress system.
It seems the subpackages such as IO-Compress-Zlib [Relating to version 2.015] are obsolete (and marked as blockers)
After removing the IO-Compress-* packages (which allows the update to IO-Compress-2.020) Amavisd-new doesn't work anymore. It seems to still want the Zlib modules.

Needs attention from someone who actually understands whats going on!

Reproducible: Always




I would habve thought that there would be IO-Compress-Zlib Bzip2 etc modules for the v2.020 version, but they don't seem to be available.

IO-Compress replaces
Compress-Zlib, IO-Compress-Zlib, IO-Compress-Bzip2, IO-Compress-Base.

Do you have perl-core/IO-Compress installed?
What does it mean when "It seems to still want the
Zlib modules"? Please show the error messages.

emerge --info or are you a paludis user?

Thankyou for your prompt reply, Torsten.

perl-core/IO-Compress-2.020 is installed

I use paludis.
This is mostly an amd64 system with a minimum of ~amd64 flags.
This is amavisd-new.2.6.4


When installing, the output is:

gatekeeper log # paludis -ip amavisd-new

Fine.

> I use paludis.

That's the problem here.
I just filed a general bug for this migration (#278542) which links to
a bug for paludis users (#275892)

You probably have to reinstall all the packages that use one of the replaced dependencies. I don't know if there is a paludis switch for this.
But you can start with libww-perl, amavisd-new, Archive-Zip , ....

Good luck

Thanks Torsten,
That did the trick.
I just ran perl-cleaner on general principles.
Reemerged anything with IO, Compress or Archive in the name (epm is good for that), reemerged IO-Compress and amavisd-new.

And that problem has gone away!
