Description Brian McKee 2021-11-13 17:50:52 UTC

I have multiple Gentoo machines and one I recently built fresh had this emerge issue:

A single perl package tried to update. It failed with a similar message to below, so I tried perl-cleaner --reallyall. This is the first error message I got:

In file included from /usr/lib64/perl5/5.34/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/op.h:673,
                 from /usr/lib64/perl5/5.34/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/perl.h:4086,
                 from encengine.c:91:
/usr/lib64/perl5/5.34/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/reentr.h:124:16: fatal error: crypt.h: No such file or directory
  124 | #      include <crypt.h>
      |                ^~~~~~~~~

On a machine that does not have this problem, libxcrypt is installed and provides /usr/include/crypt.h

Is there a missing dependency in perl for libxcrypt or one of the other providers?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fresh system.
2. emerge --sync
3. emerge -DNuq @world
4. Any updated perl packages will generate above error.
Actual Results:  
This might rear its ugly head if you simply try to emerge a perl package that relies on crypt.h

Expected Results:  
Package should emerge

Crashed out with above error message.

dev-lang/perl-5.34.0-r{3,5}.ebuild have virtual/libcrypt:= in their RDEPEND.

Maybe we need more information about how to trigger this.

I'm very surprised to see this on a _fresh_ system, given fresh systems should already have the libxcrypt migration done too.

Please emerge -v1 libxcrypt.

I resolved it by emerging libxcrypt.

However, I feel that it should somehow be in the dependencies.

I don't know how I got where I got, I was hoping to prevent someone else from getting there by talking with you guys about it.

The problem is that it _is_ in the dependencies and also that any fresh install is already migrated to libxcrypt...

Comment 6 Brian McKee 2021-12-13 16:24:33 UTC

This is the exact stage file I used to install: stage3-amd64-openrc-20210912T170541Z.tar.xz

It should still be in the archives.

If there's no way to know, then I'll just keep an eye out on the next install and try to get more information.

I might buy a new laptop next year...
