I noticed since yesterday my fetchyahoo connections have been failing (they have been working for almost five years). I tried from the command line with the --debug flag and got: Logging in securely via SSL as <mylogin> on Tue Mar 22 19:18:41 2011 Using <myproxy>:3128 as a webproxy. LWP::Protocol::https::Socket: connect: Connection timed out at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 51. 500 Can't connect to edit.yahoo.com:443 (Connection timed out) Failed: Couldn't log in. I observed that my firewall was blocking many packets to 98.137.53.34:443, indicating the process was not using the proxy server. LWP/Protocol/http.pm belongs to the libwww-perl package, which I just updated yesterday. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take a previously working fetchyahoo setup. 2. Upgrade libwww-perl from 5.837 to 6.10.0. 3. ??? 4. Profit!!! Uh, wait--wrong list. 3. Watch fetchyahoo fail to connect through the proxy. I have the following lines in my .fetchyahoorc, which hasn't changed since Jul. 2006: use-proxy = 1 proxy-host = <myproxy> proxy-port = 3128 Package dates: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 57863 Nov 20 15:27 /usr/portage/packages/All/fetchyahoo-2.14.0.tbz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 229172 Sep 30 22:39 /usr/portage/packages/All/libwww-perl-5.837.tbz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 142687 Mar 21 16:13 /usr/portage/packages/All/libwww-perl-6.10.0.tbz2

If you could report what version of dev-perl/libwww-perl you are currently using, and the most recent version of dev-perl/libwww-perl that works that would be very helpful in diagnosis.
Oh right, you're using 6.10.0 , duh =).
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=1894 # this looks related, but I can't confirm this behaviour as I don't have a proxy server. Are you sure it worked on 5.837? This bug report seems to indicate its been around since 5.66 , and the last time a 5.6 series was in tree looks to be back in 2006.
The only versions I see in eix are 5.836, (~)5.837, and [m](~)6.10.0 . I don't have any history of versions I used prior to 5.837, but I've been using that one since last September. The 6.X series appears to be where it was split up into about 10 sub-packages, so it's quite plausible to me that something got mixed up. The way my cron job is set up, it doesn't send email when it makes a successful connection, only when there's an error. So most of the time it's silent, but I've been noticing the problem emails since Monday.
Should be fine now with last stable. ( 6.30.0).
