Bug 351760 – Old package move breaks dev-perl/Text-CSV and dev-perl/Text-CSV_XS

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description rinus 2011-01-15 15:01:57 UTC]

In my case, net-libs/gtk-vnc-0.4.2-r2::gentoo depends on package dev-perl/Text-CSV. But after dev-perl/Text-CSV is installed, package dev-perl/Text-CSV_XS got installed.
Because of the dep. on dev-perl/Text-CSV, emerge keeps trying to install it.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -C dev-perl/Text-CSV_XS  (de sure to get rid of it 1st)
2. emerge -avt1 dev-perl/Text-CSV
3. equery '*CSV*'

Actual Results:  
Package dev-perl/Text-CVS_XS got installed.

Expected Results:  
Package dev-perl/Text-CVS is installed.

This installs dev-perl/Text-CSV-1.210.
Why do you think dev-perl/Text-CSV_XS got installed?

$ equery '*CSV*'
!!! Unknown module '*CSV*'

(BTW: Installing Text-CSV_XS makes Text-CSV much faster!)

Hummm..

equery is a typo, should be with option l
equery l '*CSV*'  (~amd64 version)

When installing Text-CSV it gets installed by it's own name indeed.
Things are getting more complicated i think :-(

I have the issue for abt 2-3 months on serveral ~amd64 boxes and only looked into it for a short time before by just removing Text-CSV_XS and it came back every time.

While building some information for you i can't reproduce the problem anymore after removing Text-CSV_XS and doing an 'emerge -avtNuD @world' 'Text-CSV' got installed (by it's own package name). No problem anymore with the depend. I tried to downgrade Text-CSV, maybe something got changed but there is no other version in portsage anymore.
i don't know.

b.t.w. Should i issue a new bug for net-libs/gtk-vnc to depend on Text-CSV_XS instead of Text-CSV?

Tnx and sorry for bothering you.

System update script

Okay..
I'm having this issue again after starting my update script.
I't looks like the package is renamed somewhere. This evening dev-perl/Text-CSV was installed. It's not anymore, its called dev-perl/Text-CSV_XS now. ;-)

I'll try to narrow it down.

fixpackages is the cause of the package renaming..
I file /usr/portage/profiles/updates/2Q-2005 i found:
move dev-perl/Text-CSV dev-perl/Text-CSV_XS

We have both dev-perl/Text-CSV and dev-perl/Text-CSV_XS in the tree. What must be done to solve this issue?

Good catch. I'll remove it from updates/2Q-2005

[Comment 9 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2011-01-15 22:10:57 UTC]

Done. Thanks.
