Bug 558152 – perl-cleaner found a bunch of buggy packages

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description N. Andrew Walsh 2015-08-19 11:47:38 UTC]

perl-cleaner instructed me to file a bug after having to rebuild packages. I updated from 5.20* to 5.22*. Message reads:

 * 
 * It seems like perl-cleaner had to rebuild some packages.
 * 
 * If you have just updated your major Perl version (e.g. from 5.20.2 to 5.22.0),
 * and have run perl-cleaner _after_ that update, then this means most likely
 * that these packages are buggy. Please file a bug on http://bugs.gentoo.org/ and
 * report that perl-cleaner needed to reinstall the following list:

/usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/x86_64-linux/Encode/ConfigLocal.pm


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade perl from 5.20* to 5.22*
2. 'emerge -1 $(qlist -IC virtual/perl) dev-perl/extutils-pkgconfig' and delete whatever virtuals no longer exist
3. perl-cleaner --all
Actual Results:  
per-cleaner told me to report this bug

Expected Results:  
those packages should have automatically rebuilt, and the leftover/edited/modified files should have been cleaned up as well

Don't think it is valid bug, though.

[Comment 2 Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) 2015-08-23 00:36:26 UTC]

Yeah, there are way too many variables to eliminate here.

These packages aren't all broken, there's something funky going on in portage causing a dependency problem.

So this is "debugging" or "User support" stuff atm, not really "a bug" until we can prove otherwise.

Sadly, perl-cleaners instructions are far too general and give people the wrong idea.

Ack, sorry for the effort. Something went wrong here.
