Description Martin Väth 2014-09-15 17:47:08 UTC
The 5 packages

virtual/perl-Exporter-5.700.0
virtual/perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.280.216
virtual/perl-File-Spec-3.470.0
virtual/perl-Module-CoreList-3.100.0
virtual/perl-version-0.990.800-r1

depend on dev-lang/perl-5.20.0*
This unnecessarily blocks installation of dev-lang/perl-5.21

I suppose that the dependency is a typo and should be
dev-lang/perl-5.20*
as for all other related perl-5.20 packages.

The following command shows that these are the only exceptions in the tree:
eix --deps perl.5.20.0 -#

s/perl-5.21/perl-5.20.1/

Not a bug but a feature. These are exactly the virtuals that changed from 5.20.0 to 5.20.1.

Will add the correct virtuals for Perl 5.20.1 tomorrow. 

(Your own fault if you blindly unmask everything... :P)

PS. I suggest reading changelogs. :P

New virtuals are in the tree. 

To quote the hitchhiker's guide: 
"We have normality. I repeat: we have normality. Anything you still can’t cope with is therefore your own problem."

> PS. I suggest reading changelogs. :P

Since there was no version bump in the virtuals, I did not expect that they had recent changes, and so I haven't seen a reason to read their ChangeLog.

Originally, I wanted to compare with corelist of perl-5.20.1 before filing this bug. Unfortunately, I was hit by bug 522896 simultaneously and thus couldn't do this easily. Hence, I decided to file both bugs.

Sorry for the noise.
