With perl-5.12 the Switch Module produces the following message upon usage: "Switch will be removed from the Perl core distribution in the next major release. Please install it from CPAN." So I tried to install it via g-cpan, but it produces the following output: ==================================== # g-cpan -i Switch -Sorry, we have to rerun the configuration dialog for CPAN.pm due to some missing parameters...

Well, I can reproduce at will, and the output looks different for me. After stating that the checksum for the archive is okay, there are two messages stating that Filter::Util::Call and Text::Balanced are part of the core package. And I have messages prior the statement which database is going to be read. The message "-CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.25)" from your output is news to me. If I delete /root/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm and the Switch archive, the only difference is a first line stating that the config is generated and the archive plus checksum file to be downloaded again. Steps to reproduce (for me) are: 1. g-cpan --install Switch 2. write a test program 3. run test program, showing deprecation warning: -------------------------------------------------- sed-notebook /tmp # g-cpan --install Switch -Sorry, we have to rerun the configuration dialog for CPAN.pm due to some missing parameters...

I am completely at sea with that. :-(
1. Please provide the output of: # g-cpan -g -v Switch 2. output of "emerge --info" 3. Can you ensure that you fully ran perl-cleaner

kentfredric: That's entirely separate to g-cpan not working for Sven.

Please provide the output of: > # g-cpan -g -v Switch > 2. output of "emerge --info" > 3. Can you ensure that you fully ran perl-cleaner > Okay, thanks for the quick reply, I really appreiate that! Now first, I found out, that the "missing configuration" message comes from /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.2/CPAN/HandleConfig.pm and a print I added to it told me, that "auto_commit" is missing from the configuration file. I added the option and now the output of g-cpan starts with: "-CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20)" Can this be a problem? v2.20 instead of v2.25? However, here is the output of -g -v: sed-notebook /tmp # g-cpan -g -v Switch * Getting CPAN Info for Switch -CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20) Going to read '/var/tmp/g-cpan/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Mon, 24 Jan 2011 18:42:46 GMT * Scanning /usr/local/portage for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/gamerlay for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/lxde for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/sunrise for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/x11 for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/vmware for Switch * Scanning /usr/portage for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/pro-audio for Switch |CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.47) CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.02401) Checksum for /var/tmp/g-cpan/.cpan/sources/authors/id/R/RG/RGARCIA/Switch-2.16.tar.gz ok CPAN: Archive::Tar loaded ok (v1.54) Switch-2.16/ Switch-2.16/t/ Switch-2.16/t/given.t Switch-2.16/t/switch.t Switch-2.16/t/nested.t Switch-2.16/MANIFEST Switch-2.16/META.yml Switch-2.16/Changes Switch-2.16/Switch.pm Switch-2.16/README Switch-2.16/Makefile.PL CPAN: File::Temp loaded ok (v0.22) CPAN: Parse::CPAN::Meta loaded ok (v1.40) * Checking on dependency Filter::Util::Call for Switch * Filter::Util::Call is part of the core perl install * Checking on dependency Text::Balanced for Switch * Text::Balanced is part of the core perl install * Cleaning temporary space At this point I thought "wow, is it going to work now? But when I redid with -i instead of -g, the same "nothing to install" message appeared. Before I add something as long as emerge --info, I thought, I'd like to verify on perl-cleaner. So I ran it with --reallyall and --leftovers. I noticed that there are some files listed from perl-5.8.8 and perl-5.12.1, removed those by hand and re-emerged all currently installed packages (103) shown by perl-cleaner. (I left some bigger ones out, though, and only emerged those that have "perl" in their name or category) After that I re-emerged g-cpan and tried again: Same result: "nothing to install"

Well, of course I have, as it will be removed, but isn't yet. # find /usr/lib64/perl5/ -iname 'Switch.pm' /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.2/CGI/Switch.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2/CGI/Switch.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2/Switch.pm > - The missing configuration bit is just noise (And is already fixed in the > g-cpan source). > - The Storable version is also noise. So I daresay those can be ignored, right? (snip) > * Generating ebuild for Switch This is the one I do not get. No ebuild is generated, and I do not understand this. I would if there where an ebuild for Switch, but there isn't. From looking into g-cpan, it seems like only the deps but not Switch show up in $really_install. And it wouldn't get added unless (-f $ebuild) is false, or $upgrade is false or $upgrade is true and the ebuild is added to $passed_to_install. But I haven't had the time to dig into this further.

First the "what am I using"-test: sed-notebook ~ # perl -MSwitch -e 'print "$INC{q{Switch.pm}}\n"' /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2/Switch.pm sed-notebook ~ # grep "VERSION =" /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2/Switch.pm $VERSION = '2.16'; sed-notebook ~ # g-cpan -s Switch | grep " Switch " Module < Switch (RGARCIA/Switch-2.16.tar.gz) It is the same version. So g-cpan might think that no update (or replacement) is neccessary because of this? Can this be the case? However, the second test would be to go looking for a different Switch.pm in @INC : sed-notebook ~ # perl -V | grep -A 99 INC @INC: /etc/perl /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.12.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.12.2 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.2 /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2 /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/local/lib/site_perl . sed-notebook ~ # LC_ALL="C" find . /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 -iname 'Switch.pm' find: `/etc/perl': No such file or directory find: `/usr/local/lib/site_perl': No such file or directory /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.2/CGI/Switch.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2/CGI/Switch.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2/Switch.pm No. Nothing. I would have loved to find some stray module somewhere there to be able to close this issue. I will again after I manually lowered the version of the three found Switch.pm.
(In reply to comment #11) > I will again after I manually lowered the version of the three found Switch.pm. > Now this is weird. Lowering the version didn't help. And renaming didn't help either: sed-notebook ~ # mv /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2/Switch.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2/Switch.pm.old sed-notebook ~ # g-cpan -i -v Switch * Getting CPAN Info for Switch -CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20) Going to read '/var/tmp/g-cpan/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Wed, 26 Jan 2011 18:41:46 GMT * Scanning /usr/local/portage for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/gamerlay for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/lxde for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/sunrise for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/x11 for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/vmware for Switch * Scanning /usr/portage for Switch * Scanning /var/lib/layman/pro-audio for Switch |CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.47) CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.02401) Checksum for /var/tmp/g-cpan/.cpan/sources/authors/id/R/RG/RGARCIA/Switch-2.16.tar.gz ok CPAN: Archive::Tar loaded ok (v1.54) Switch-2.16/ Switch-2.16/t/ Switch-2.16/t/given.t Switch-2.16/t/switch.t Switch-2.16/t/nested.t Switch-2.16/MANIFEST Switch-2.16/META.yml Switch-2.16/Changes Switch-2.16/Switch.pm Switch-2.16/README Switch-2.16/Makefile.PL CPAN: File::Temp loaded ok (v0.22) CPAN: Parse::CPAN::Meta loaded ok (v1.40) * Checking on dependency Filter::Util::Call for Switch * Filter::Util::Call is part of the core perl install * Checking on dependency Text::Balanced for Switch * Text::Balanced is part of the core perl install * Nothing to install!! * Cleaning temporary space How can this be?
Sorry for three comments in a row. The last one is missing something that didn't get submitted by accident. My fault I guess, but however, I made sure that the old Switch is out of the way before trying again: sed-notebook ~ # perl -MSwitch -e 'print "$INC{q{Switch.pm}}\n"' Can't locate Switch.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.12.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.12.2 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.2 /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.2 /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/local/lib/site_perl .). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
And the fourth: SOLVED! My make.conf had this entry: GCPAN_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/g-cpan" Although this worked in the past, this does not work any more. The list command goes through everything in PORTDIR_OVERLAY and thus found the ebuilds installed by g-cpan (several months ago!), but the subdir g-cpan simply does not exist. I changed the line to GCPAN_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}" and now Switch is successfully installed. ---- So I suggest to print out a big fat error message in g-cpan when $GCPAN_OVERLAY is set, but the directory does not exist. Because in that case, PORTDIR_OVERLAY is not searched when generating a new ebuild. The program simply quits stating "Nothing to install".
