Created attachment 450860 [details] The output of "emerge --info" While building cinnamon, I was stuck at gnome-color-manager. It was failing because of docbook2man. In turn, that was failing because it could not find "sgmlspl." A `which -a sgmlspl` showed that I had a "sgmlspl.pl" in my path. Symlinking fixed the problem. I don't know if this is a bug, but I think it is, because the other binaries installed lacked the extension.
Hi, I watched this happen on #gentoo, and this doesn't exactly hold up: Firstly, which version of SGMLSpm are you talking about? Secondly, are you sure you didn't break something? 1.03-r7: src_prepare() : mv sgmlspl{.pl,} || die 1.1-41: src_install() : dosym sgmlspl.pl /usr/bin/sgmlspl Both cases leave an "/usr/bin/sgmlspl" on your machine. But you left #gentoo before I could ask you about it. See Bug #582094 and https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=7f34b93bdef8bf3bed4852f9dff5fa97e2ea2509 Also, you have a *very* old portage, and your portage version is so old it doesn't indicate the tree timestamp. But your einfo says "funtoo" not "gentoo" .... so it might be *their* problem, not ours. Looking at : https://github.com/funtoo/ports-2012/tree/funtoo.org/dev-perl/SGMLSpm ( as indicated by emerge --info ) says you indeed have an SGMLSpm still containing bugs we have since fixed. I'd close this as "invalid", but I don't know how to handle bugs that are "Funtoos problem"
Funtoo need to fix this bug themselves. Linking to Funtoo's related bug where they still haven't worked out what's going on. They need the -r1 version from gentoo, the 1.1 they have in tree is "broken". Sorry.
