Hello, It seems that all virtual/perl-* packages are suddenly unmasked (tested on a brand new server with latest stage3). Result is : most packages installations requiring perl are failing because "virtual/perl*-rc" requires perl-5.22.3_rc4 instead of perl-5.22.2. Example : emerge -qav munin : Example of virtual unmasked : virtual/perl-IPC-Cmd : * virtual/perl-IPC-Cmd Available versions: 0.920.0-r5 0.920.100_rc-r1 Description: Virtual for IPC-Cmd Version rc-r1 should not be available.

"virtual/perl*-rc" requires perl-5.22.3_rc4 instead of perl-5.22.2. Can you clarify what you mean? 5.22.3_rc4 *is* the new stable target. virtual/perl-IPC-Cmd-0.920.100_rc-r1 *should* be visible for amd64 stable.
If you want to read further into the decision, here's my comments here on the relevant sec bug and stable request: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589680#c2
Just try to emerge anything (perl related) on a brand new stage3 Gentoo : munin for example. Some virtual/perl-* dependencies of munin will require a perl upgrade to rc4 which is blocked because of already installed virtual/perl-* linked to perl-5.22.2. This should not happen on a brand new stage3.
I should probably specify that I'm using stage3-amd64-20161208.tar.bz2. Maybe 20161222 stage3 won't have this kind of issue because it will ship perl-5.22.3-rc4 as default perl installation?
what happens if you do emerge -uDNav world what happens if you do emerge -uDNav --backtrack=1000 world ???

Its really confusing understanding what you're talking about from your explained context. Can you give dumps of the output of emerge that leads you to this conclusion? Usually this is "slot upgrade" situation, which occurs when you have to upgrade from perl 5.20 to 5.22 for instance, and portage doesn't give a resolution when it should. Lots of people have this problem, its more an unfortunate bug in portages dependency resolver, not prematurely releasing new perl versions.a ( But I can only guess, so complete dumps of what you're seeing are *necessary* to help here ) Its also possible there is a real problem, but you're describing it differently from how it is, and the full content of emerge output ( including how you invoke it ) would help here.
