Description Scott Beck 2002-10-23 16:22:55 UTC

Hi,

I would have debugged this further but I know little about how inheritence
works in ebuilds. It seems that something in portage/eclass/perl-* is busted.
If I emerge a perl module the module its' self goes into the wrong directory.
I tested with three different modules, MD5, perl-tk and CGI.

MD5.pm ended up in:
    /usr/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/MD5.pm
CGI.pm ended up in:
    /usr/lib/5.6.1/CGI.pm
Tk.pm ended up in:
    /usr/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux/Tk.pm

I'm not sure when this started happening as I usually use `perl -MCPAN -e shell'
to install modules. I emerge rsync nightly and I am running 1.4rc1.

Cheers,

Scott

emerge ExtUtils-MakeMaker and then try these three again, please...

Comment 2 Scott Beck 2002-10-23 17:25:56 UTC

Thats very strange:
sbeck@sbeck sbeck $ emerge -p ExtUtils-MakeMaker

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R  ] dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05


But re-emerging ExtUtils-MakeMaker did fix the problem even though it was
listed as uptodate...

Thanks!

Scott
