Description Sven 2014-10-09 21:16:48 UTC 
If Scalar-List-Utils-1.350.0 is not installed, you get the following error with biber 1.9:

$ biber
List::Util version 1.31 required--this is only version 1.27 at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.2/List/AllUtils.pm line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.18.2/List/AllUtils.pm line 8.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-10-10 14:02:05 UTC 
I'm not able to reproduce this here. 
Which version of virtual/perl-Scalar-List-Utils have you installed?
Which version of dev-perl/List-AllUtils have you installed?

Have you run perl-cleaner --all on perl-5.18 update?
Comment 2 Sven 2014-10-10 17:14:24 UTC 
This is a new gentoo install, which I started 3 days ago. There was no need to run perl-cleaner. Anyhow, the version of List::Util that comes with perl 5.18 is only 1.27.

You are probably right that the bug is with List-AllUtils. I have dev-perl/List-AllUtils-0.80.0 installed.
Comment 3 Sven 2014-10-10 17:20:50 UTC 
Line 8 of AllUtils.pm (in version 0.80.0) is
  use List::Util 1.31 ();
so it is clearly wrong that dev-perl/List-AllUtils-0.80.0 currently only depends on =virtual/perl-Scalar-List-Utils-1.190.0.
Comment 4 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-10-10 17:54:06 UTC 
CC'ing perl-devs then.

What? 

 >=virtual/perl-Scalar-List-Utils-1.190.0

it means grater or equal. Meanwhile biber has dependency on _ANY_ of dev-perl/List-AllUtils. Not a bug.
Comment 6 Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-10-10 18:14:12 UTC 
Upstreams dependency map clearly states that it must have >= 1.310.0

https://metacpan.org/source/DROLSKY/List-AllUtils-0.08/META.json

However, The dependencies do in fact currently only declare 1.190.0, which includes current stable, which is of course, too old.

All other dependencies look OK though, it could optionally include RDEPEND virtual/perl-Exporter

This mistake is incidentally one of the things I got right when I submitted a bump patch for List-AllUtils ( bug 524094 ) in the first place, and the mistake was re-made due to not using that :P

https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=385798&action=diff

Thus, it is a bug: Because dev-perl/List-AllUtils declares an incorrect minimum version.
