I was attempting to use ddclient with SSL support, and was getting the following error: Jun 8 08:44:38 mab ddclient[2687]: FATAL: Error loading the Perl module IO::Socket::SSL needed for SSL connect. Jun 8 08:44:38 mab ddclient[2687]: FATAL: On Debian, the package libio-socket-ssl-perl must be installed. Jun 8 08:44:38 mab ddclient[2687]: FATAL: On Red Hat, the package perl-IO-Socket-SSL must be installed. On reemerging IO-Socket-SSL, I noticed the following warning: * perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr INSTALLDIRS=vendor INSTALLMAN3DIR=none DESTDIR=/var/tmp/portage/dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL-1.740.0/image/ Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Warning: prerequisite Net::SSLeay 1.21 not found. Writing Makefile for IO::Socket::SSL >>> Source configured. After installing Net-SSLeay, the ddclient error went away. I don't know enough about these packages to say whether IO-Socket-SSL should require Net-SSLeay, ddclient should require Net-SSLeay, or maybe IO-Socket-SSL should have a USE flag that ddclient requires. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Attempt to use ddclient without Net-SSLeay installed with "ssl=yes" in the ddclient.conf file.
ddclient rdepends on IO-Socket-SSL which r/depends on Net-SSLeay. If it can't find it, then i guess you did update dev-lang/perl and didn't run perl-cleaner? I guess this bug is INVALID.
I suppose so. I didn't think that Net-SSLeay was installed at all at the start, but I could be mistaken. I did attempt to run the command to fix perl, but I mis-remembered it as "perl-updater". Thanks for looking into this.
Thanks. Closing
