Wild guess: what version of sys-libs/db do you have?

[Comment 4 Alexander Hsia 2006-09-12 16:18:33 UTC]

I have db-1.85-r3 and db-4.3.29-r2 installed

Could you try emerging with 4.2.52_p2-r1 ?
Possibly an upstream bug...

[Comment 6 Alexander Hsia 2006-09-13 08:59:20 UTC]

I uninstalled db-4.3* and emerged db-4.2.52_p2-r1 but perl-5.8.8-r2 still fails to compile. It dies pretty much with the same error as before

[Comment 7 Antoine Raillon (RETIRED) 2006-09-13 10:42:53 UTC]

Wild guess n

[Comment 8 Antoine Raillon (RETIRED) 2006-09-13 10:42:53 UTC]

Wild guess n°2 :
did you try to run revdep-rebuild recently ?
the output of revdep-rebuild -p could be useful ;)

[Comment 9 Yuval Yaari (RETIRED) 2006-09-13 10:49:23 UTC]

I was more afraid of 1.85-r3(1).
Could you try removing it, as well? (Sorry! :)

[Comment 10 Chris White (RETIRED) 2006-09-13 10:54:37 UTC]

Actually let me butt in here.  Try installing perl without the berkdb USE flag.  Then attempt to emerge perl-core/DB_File.  I want to see if maybe the outside maintained module works fine, because if so we can pull code from there, set it as a depend instead.

[Comment 11 Chris White (RETIRED) 2006-09-16 18:12:38 UTC]

Resolved as TEST-REQUEST till suggested actions are taken and feedback given.

[Comment 12 Alexander Hsia 2006-09-19 12:06:21 UTC]

Removing the berkdb flag allows perl-5.8.8-r2 to emerge successfully. However, emerging perl-core/DB_File afterwards does not work. Emerging DB_File ends with a lot of errors, as follows in attachment

DB_File emerge logfile

[Comment 14 Yuval Yaari (RETIRED) 2006-09-19 12:14:34 UTC]

I still think it's BerkeleyDB 1.85-r3(1) :-)
Any chance you could try removing it and check again?
