After Following my own procedure which I outlined in the linked forum post, and then reversing all the work I did as outlined in the answer to my post, I still have one hard blocker. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove all Testing virtuals and perl-core modules from package.accept_keywords 2. Add app-admin/perl-cleaner to package.accept_keywords 3. Update perl-cleaner. 4. Add dev-lang/perl, virtual/perl-*, and perl-core/* to package.accept_keywords 5. emerge -uDNav world 6. perl-cleaner --all 5. Actual Results: During perl-cleaner -all, emerge states [B block](<perl-core/Parse-CPAN-Meta-1.440.900-r1 is blocking virtual/perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta-1.441.400) In order to proceed, I had to add >=virtual/perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta-1.441.400 to my package.mask file Expected Results: perl-cleaner should complete with no blockers.

Don't mix the stable and unstable branches unless you want to deal with the clean-up locally as well. Ebuilds are not developed to support mixing these.

Ebuilds are not developed to support mixing these. You miss the point: Even after cleaning up the mess locally, and following the blog post to the letter that khayyam pointed out to me, perl-core/Parse-CPAN-Meta-1.440.900-r1 is blocking virtual/perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta-1.441.400 because no perl-core/Parse-CPAN-Meta-1.441.400 exists in the portage tree. Emerge is blocking because that version doesn't exist. All the other versions that I had screwed up were cleaned up by updating to perl-cleaner in ~arch. Until you can show or tell me how to fix it so that virtual/perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta-1.441.400 isn't masked, or why it doesn't exist in the tree, which is why I opened the bug, I'd like the bug to remain open, otherwise you can close the bug as wont fix.

After researching the CPAN Website at http://search.cpan.org/~dagolden/Parse-CPAN-Meta-1.4414/ I see the error here. Version 1.441.4 has not been released. I will reclose this bug.
