Bug 915698 – =dev-util/lcov-2 can't locate lcovutil.pm

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dan Goodliffe 2023-10-13 20:12:11 UTC]

After updating to lcov-2, lcov fails with the following error:

$ lcov --version
Can't locate lcovutil.pm in @INC (you may need to install the lcovutil module) (@INC entries checked: /tmp/portage/dev-util/lcov-2.0/image/usr/lib/lcov /etc/perl /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.38/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.38 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.38 /usr/lib64/perl5/5.38/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/5.38 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.36) at /usr/bin/lcov line 102.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/lcov line 102.

The file is installed, but apparently not at a location that's searched.

$ qfile lcovutil.pm
dev-util/lcov: /usr/lib/lcov/lcovutil.pm

My understanding is that this module didn't exist in v1.x and /usr/lib isn't where you'd expect to find a Perl module, maybe this is picking up some inappropriate default (I don't do Perl! Could be very wrong)

I don't think there's a need for this for a runtime failure like this.

Anyway, I can reproduce, looking...
