Description marcell mars 2004-09-13 15:04:34 UTC
i needed to reemerge perl so to have 5.8.5 installed and then it works fine...

before it can't find modules in @INC coz there is no 5.8.5 path... hope this is enough of description...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. have 5.8.4 perl installed
2. have portage snapshot uptodate so perl 5.8.5 could be installed
3. emerge dvdrip


Actual Results:  
it won't start dvdrip because it doesn't have right paths to latest installed
perl modules.

Expected Results:  
it should add right path to @INC after installing dvdrip so it can work properly
after that ;)

I read your post several times and I still don't understand the order of installed packages.  I assume:

perl-5.8.4 was installed.  Then you updated to perl-5.8.5 and after that you installed dvdrip, right?  But dvdrip didn't put the libraries into the 5.8.5-folder, correct?

That sounds like a forgotten 'source /etc/profile' after the perl-upgrade.  Or a forgotten 'revdep-rebuild', so that packages with changed library(-pathes) would be rebuilt after an upgrade.

Closing, as there was no response.
