Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-17 23:47:09 UTC
dev-perl/RPM-0.40-r1: attr(depends): nonexistant atoms [ =app-arch/rpm-4.0.4-r5 ]

It seriously won't compile with any other version of app-arch/rpm.
There's a slightly different module offered with app-arch/rpm (./configure --with-perl will compile it...).

I have to run to a meeting, but I'll check what depends on dev-perl/RPM and see if  it could work with the Perl module that comes with app-arch/rpm.

Yeah, I've mainly filed this for tracking purpose so that I don't forget, my memory sucks you know :) Using the bundled bindings would be preferable solution most likely anyway.

i'm a little disturbed by how this came about, namely because of the lack of qa involved in the act of removing rpm. doing a reverse dep scan shows nothing depping on dev-perl/rpm, so i say we just remove it from the tree and keep our eyes out for qa tools that let devs know they're breaking things before they commit.

package.mask'd for removal
