Installs fine on a 5.8 system. Anyone with a 5.6.1 that can confirm installation?

Philippe - does emerge search Test-Simple show that you have a recent copy of Test installed (Date::Leapyear depends on Test-Simple for the tests that are giving you trouble). Also, not that it should matter, but 1.71 of Date::Leapyear will be hitting portage within the half hour.

[Comment 2 Philippe Clérié 2003-06-08 09:56:27 UTC]

Problem resolved by update Test::Simple and Test::Harness to the latest versions 
in portage. Maybe the package's dependencies should be updated.

Deps updated :) (Though they should have been caught earlier in your dependancy tree).
