Can you do an emerge -p dev-perl/extutils-depends? From the glib-perl-1.040 ebuild:

>=dev-perl/extutils-depends-0.2*

i.e., the dep is listed, so now I need to figure out why it isn't being pulled in for you...

[Comment 2 Geert Hauwaerts. 2004-03-31 09:05:30 UTC]

root@Liszt  07:00pm  ~  # emerge -p dev-perl/extutils-depends

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

[ebuild   R   ] dev-perl/extutils-depends-0.202

[Comment 3 Geert Hauwaerts. 2004-04-10 14:03:09 UTC]

Any suggestions?

[Comment 4 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2004-04-12 07:55:30 UTC]

Please re-emerge extutils-depends - I still say it sounds like portage (or perl) is confused as to whether this is actually installed. You didn't by chance upgrade perl in the recent past? (This would cause portage to think a package was installed, but could lead to confusion in perl itself if there were xs code involved).

[Comment 5 Geert Hauwaerts. 2004-04-12 08:13:51 UTC]

Already done that, still the same. Perhaps remerge perl?

[Comment 6 Jason Rhinelander 2004-05-09 18:07:41 UTC]

Try running:

perl -MExtUtils::Depends -e 'print $ExtUtils::Depends::VERSION, "\n", $INC{"ExtUtils/Depends.pm"}, "\n"'

then run:

locate ExtUtils/Depends.pm


In reply to comment 4, I've seen this sort of thing before - it happens when a module was installed manually, which means it went into the site_perl directory - which is scanned before vendor_perl where emerged modules get installed.

[Comment 7 Geert Hauwaerts. 2004-05-09 21:06:51 UTC]

It's working fine, recompiling perl already did it.
