After system update I got a missing dependency problem with postgrey: $ postgrey --help Can't locate NetAddr/IP.pm in @INC (you may need to install the NetAddr::IP module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.22.0/x86_64-linux /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.22.0 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.0/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.0 /usr/lib64/perl5/5.22.0/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/5.22.0 .) at /usr/sbin/postgrey line 14. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/postgrey line 14. Works fine after dev-perl/NetAddr-IP emerging. But the package is not specified as a dependency: * dependency graph for mail-filter/postgrey-1.36 `-- mail-filter/postgrey-1.36 ~amd64 `-- virtual/pkgconfig-0-r1 (virtual/pkgconfig) ~amd64 `-- dev-lang/perl-5.22.0 (>=dev-lang/perl-5.6.0) ~amd64 `-- dev-perl/net-server-2.8.0 (dev-perl/net-server) ~amd64 `-- dev-perl/IO-Multiplex-1.160.0 (dev-perl/IO-Multiplex) ~amd64 `-- dev-perl/BerkeleyDB-0.550.0 (dev-perl/BerkeleyDB) ~amd64 `-- dev-perl/Net-DNS-0.810.0 (dev-perl/Net-DNS) ~amd64 `-- dev-perl/Parse-Syslog-1.100.0-r1 (dev-perl/Parse-Syslog) amd64 `-- dev-perl/Net-RBLClient-0.500.0-r1 (dev-perl/Net-RBLClient) amd64 `-- virtual/perl-Digest-SHA-5.950.0 (virtual/perl-Digest-SHA) ~amd64 `-- sys-libs/db-6.0.35 (>=sys-libs/db-4.1) ~amd64
Can confirm, this broke two email servers.
why this is stuck for a trivial fix?
unable to verify, please include useful details such as version. works for me just fine without NetAddr-IP: gato ~ # emerge postgrey -a1 FEATURES variable contains unknown value(s): qa-experimental These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

only postgrey-1.36 exhibit this problem. 1.34-r3 (stable) and 1.35-r2 does not need dev-perl/NetAddr-IP
Fixed, thanks for the report. Please note, in the future, include version numbers so that bugs can be reproduced more easily. Also, Hector, might want to reconsider running the testing/current branch on your production servers. Stable is called stable for a reason.
