Description Eric Brown 2005-07-01 07:11:34 UTC
Once again, portage updated perl, and everything broke.  Why isn't perl-cleaner
just run automatically from those ebuilds?

Reproducible: Always

There will never be the option to emerge inside of an emerge process. The
necessary postinstall information exists and it's your job to care for that. 
Comment 2 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-01 08:19:10 UTC
because perl-cleaner generates a list of ebuilds and emerges them - can't 
initiate emerge from within emerge ;)  
 
to boot, libperl bump was to fix perl yesterday - you needed to rebuild both 
anyway, and after the perl emerge you are informed of perl-cleaner (can't 
imagine a circumstance where you would emerge libperl and not perl - its a one 
way relationship)
