This is a duplicate of http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36341.
This bug is *not* a duplicate of http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36341 . This is caused by not being able to resolve the hostname of the machine - 36341 is caused by something different. I tested libwww-perl-5.76, as packaged in the distfile, with TEST_VERBOSE=1 in the Makefile and editing t/robots/ua-get to uncomment all of the various things it prints. My machine is named mesh - it is trying to connect to http://mesh:37935/ (or some similar high port). mesh cannot be resolved, as is made obvious by the verbose error output, and can also be tested with other tools. It's certainly a bug in libwww-perl for it not to at the very leat provide useful output when this occurs - I'm not sure whether not being able to resolve the hostname of a machine should be considered a bug in that machine's setup or not. If not, then libwww-perl should be able to build without using the hostname. Using localhost (which is a required hostname, and also exists by default in gentoo, unlike the machine hostname) seems like a reasonable solution.
Yep - agree with that as well. I went back and emerge'd all perl packages: qpkg -I -nc dev-perl > plist emerge `cat plist` (probably only needed a few, but it's Sunday and plenty of horsepower today) - noticed an issue with libnet, as in there's two different ones - got rid of net-libs/libnet-1.1.1 (probably not important). Now all the /usr/lib/perl5 directories are clean, and emerge libwww-perl works fine. I thought there was a perl update script that you ran after upgrading a perl release that identified the affected perl ebuilds that needed re-run, but maybe that was only for a "major" release level (5.6->5.8). Anywho, it only took me about a half-hour to get all the perl pm's updated, so give it a try. I notice that your primary req'd modules are detected: Checking for URI........... ok Checking for HTML::Parser.. ok Checking for MIME::Base64.. ok Checking for Net::FTP...... ok Checking for Digest::MD5 .. ok You might want to try re-doing those first, maybe they're detected in the prior perl release libs and that's throwing it off. Also try dev-perl/libnet, it may be what's throwing off the perl hostname detection stuff. Regards, Gio
had this same problem too. turned out i had the wrong ip in /etc/hosts
Thanks j! That was my problem also. I had "the wrong ip in /etc/hosts". Once I fixed that it compiled with no test errors.
Same problem. Same "wrong ip in /etc/hosts". Second the suggestion that the it should be using "localhost" instead.
i'll be the fourth guy to weigh in on this ... i too had stale ip's in /etc/hosts (just moved my box from college to home) and was experiencing the same bugs fixing the ip allowed the package to merge correctly
btw, it also fails when you've got iptables blocking all incoming connections to all ports excluding ones explicitly listed. probably gentoo should have a patch for libwww to use localhost instead of `hostname`, or something.
