Description Thomas Capricelli 2019-06-11 10:23:07 UTC 
Since switching to dev-lang/perl-5.30.0, munin doesn't work anymore. I got errors such as this one :

2019/06/10-03:00:01 [22073] Service 'interrupts' exited with status 1/0.
2019/06/10-03:00:01 [22073] Error output from df:
2019/06/10-03:00:01 [22073]     2019/06/10-03:00:01 [22080] # FATAL: Plugin 'df' Can't drop privileges:  at /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.30.0/Munin/Node/Service.pm line 228.\n.
2019/06/10-03:00:01 [22073] Service 'df' exited with status 1/0.


It happens on several servers

On most of them i managed to fix the problem by masking perl >=5.30, reinstalling perl and using perl-cleaner.

But that doesn't work anymore with current tree (as of today morning, june 11th, 2019): i can't go back to perl 5.28 anymore on the remaining servers, it seems dependancies in dev-core/* have changed yesterday.

As a result munin is completely broken on those servers and I dont have any workaround :-(

created a ticket in upstream https://github.com/munin-monitoring/munin/issues/1202
Comment 2 Thomas Capricelli 2019-06-13 10:00:51 UTC 
Wow, and the munin people escalated that to a bug in Perl ..
Comment 3 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2019-06-24 05:28:07 UTC 
This has now been fixed in upstream perl:

https://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/79e302e6c3f815bf4cb72a5bacc3012595970db9
Comment 4 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2019-11-26 23:55:18 UTC 
This is fixed in Perl 5.30.1.
