I'm at the progress of installing gentoo ~x86 (unstable) on a pc, "emerge --emtytree system" always fails at the "test-harness" ebuild. It's complaining about a missing "makemaker", so it seems there's something wrong with a dependancy. Please see below for actual emerge output. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --emptytree system 2. 3. Actual Results: emerge output: >>> emerge (47 of 92) perl-core/Test-Harness-2.42 to / >>> md5 files ;-) Test-Harness-2.42.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) Test-Harness-2.30.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-Test-Harness-2.30 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-Test-Harness-2.42 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) Test-Harness-2.42.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking Test-Harness-2.42.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/Test-Harness-2.42/work >>> Source unpacked.

take minimal out of your flags and re-emerge libperl and perl (ok, just perl should do it). minimal perl is for just the interpreter, no other support (like building modules)
No response, closing, marking invalid since with minimal perl, you get minimal perl.
I couldn't reply since I had another problem, but I can confirm taking minimal out solved the problem. I guess minimal isn't useful as a systemwide flag ;)
