bash-2.05b$ msetimon bad option "anchor": must be -after, -anchor, -before, -expand, -fill, -in, -ipadx, -ipady, -padx, -pady, or -side at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux/Tk/Widget.pm line 1144. at /usr/bin/msetimon line 3921 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempted reemergeing perl ans msetimon, no luck 2. Completed an emerge -e world (For other reasons) no effect 3. Actual Results: Same anchor error Expected Results: Opened the msetimon display Perl version 5.8.4 Msetimon version 2.0.7 Looks like a typo somewhere to me, if I knew more about GUI and perl programming I'd try to fix it myself.
Altered line 3921 by changing anchor and expand to -anchor and -expand: $f = $main->Frame(-borderwidth => 1, -width => 0, -background => "$bgcol")-> pack(-side => 'top', -anchor => 'n', -expand => 0, -fill => 'both') ; Solved problem.
Was thinking about it, and the bug is fixed only on my system, which isn't a very good resolution. Changed status to minor, as the workaround in /usr/bin/msetimon is trivial.
The fix would have made it, but the newest avail version already has it. I've put 2.78 into portage now.
