The bioperl tests have always been a beast (meaning some usually fail). This release though, I ran through the tests without a failure and thought that they had managed to clean up their act. Short term fix, comment out line 45 in the ebuild. 'perl-module_src_test || die "Test Failed" ' That should get it installed. I think that the problem may be that the tests they are running reference a bioperl-run module by accident. And you don't have bioperl-run installed it will fail. You could also try that. I'll look into it more but one of those two should get you installed. - Steve
Deleting line 45 did the trick, thanks. I had installed bioperl-run, and upgrading it before upgrading bioperl didn't make any difference.
Added a src_test() function to the ebuild, so you can enable the tests if you want using FEATURES=maketest. I guess this fixes the issue.
