Please let me know if any other info is requested. mikeyb Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge XML-SAX-Writer 2. 3. Actual Results: failed install of package Expected Results: want package to be installed, and continue on with other mythtv dependencies
Since the test that's failing is using Text::Iconv, let's confirm you have that. Please report back the results of the following: perl -e 'use Text::Iconv; my $version = $Text::Iconv::VERSION; print "$version"'
Same problem here, so I'll reply. The output of the command is "1.4"
I think is in an incompatibility between the version of Text::Iconv that the author of XML::SAX::Writer used when writing the tests, and the version that is currently available (1.4). Would you be willing to remove the line SRC_TEST="do" from the XML-SAX-Writer ebuild and verify that the modules/apps that depended on this can proceed installing correctly?
the output on my box is "1.3" for perl -e 'use Text::Iconv; my $version = $Text::Iconv::VERSION; print "$version"' I did emerge /usr/portage/dev-perl/Text-Iconv/Text-Iconv-1.4.ebuild but the output remained 1.3, I don't know if I should be worried about this?? I removed the line SRC_TEST="do" from the XML-SAX-Writer ebuild, and the emerge process went fine after that. After XML-SAX-Writer merged successfully, I restarted emerge --onlydeps mythtv mythvideo mythdvd mythtv-themes it failed this time on XML-Twig-3.13. I found another bug entry for that and did emerge /usr/portage/dev-perl/XML-Twig/XML-Twig-3.15.ebuild and that worked fine. Then restarted emerge --onlydeps mythtv mythvideo mythdvd mythtv-themes everything else went fine, along with the install of mythtv itself and it's components. Thanks for solving my problem, hopefully I won't encounter any probs. mikeyb

Comment on attachment 38458 [details, diff] Patched ebuild to include the Text-Iconv patch This patch allows the ebuild to complete the tests successfully, instead of just not running them. Uses the other attached patch (iconvclass.patch)

The patches from #6 and #7 work fine on x86. Time for a -r1 ebuild?
Ian - thanks for finding the patch on this one. -r1 was committed about 20 minutes ago containing the patch. Please reopen this bug if the problem persists, but this patch should just about cover it completely.
