After updating xscreensaver to version 5.15, glslideshow fails with the following error (or something similar) Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at /usr/bin/xscreensaver-getimage-file line 53. as described here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26158 . It was noted in the comments that emerging libwww-perl fixed the problem, and indeed it does. However, upon emerging that package along with xscreensaver, the order of emerges generated by portage was: emerge -av libwww-perl xscreensaver These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update xscreensaver to version 5.15 with no libwww-perl installed. 2. Run glslideshow via xscreensaver-demo or by locking the screen. Actual Results: Error message as mentioned above is listed. Expected Results: glslideshow should work as expected. Emerging libwww-perl and xscreensaver fixes the problem.
