dev-perl/locale-maketext-lexicon is a dependency of www-apps/rt. A lot of tests are failing. I did allready rebuild all perl modules and made a repdev-rebuild. # emerge locale-maketext-locale ...

The problem isn't you or your perl - there is a newer version of Test-Simple (which provides Test::Simple, Test::More, etc.) that under certain conditions is incompatible with older tests - something I missed during initial regression testing. I've updated the version of locale-maketext-lexicon that you are attempting to install with a corrected dep for the older Test-Simple, as well as added a newer version of locale-maketext-lexicon that supports the newer Test-Simple.
