Bug 216147 – dev-util/git should depend on dev-perl/Error

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Maarten Billemont 2008-04-04 07:13:47 UTC]

Without dev-perl/Error present, git can throw the following error:

mbillemo@Myst t $ git-remote add netherpanel http://netherpanel.lyndir.com/NetherPanel.git
Can't locate Error.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level /Gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /etc/perl /Gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level /Gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /Gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /Gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /Gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-2level /Gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /Gentoo/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Git.pm line 93.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

[Comment 1 Maarten Billemont 2008-04-04 07:18:45 UTC]

This error is thrown with git installed as follows:

[ebuild   R   ] dev-util/git-1.5.4.4  USE="bash-completion iconv webdav -cgi -curl -doc -emacs -gtk -mozsha1 -perl (-ppcsha1) -threads -tk" 0 kB

As you can see, no perl.  With perl enabled the Error lib is pulled in, but it still shouldn't throw the error it does without the perl flag.  Maybe the perl flag should disappear and perl should be enabled by default?

[Comment 2 Maarten Billemont 2008-04-04 07:19:40 UTC]

Enabling the perl flag causes:

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "dev-perl/Net-SMTP-SSL".
(dependency required by "dev-util/git-1.5.4.4" [ebuild])

[Comment 3 Fabian Groffen 2008-04-07 14:29:57 UTC]

Are you on an updated tree?

We already dealt with a bug similar to this, and dev-perl/Net-SMTP-SSL is in the tree here...
