Description Daniel Douglas 2008-11-22 01:47:53 UTC

I'm not sure how sensitive portage is to category and case sensitivity, but this causes serious breakage in paludis. I'm also unsure of how to search for a comprehensive list of packages requiring the non-existent package dev-perl/module-build, but all such ebuilds need to be changed.

A few examples are dev-perl/Error which is needed by git; and dev-perl/DateManip

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. paludis -qD dev-perl/Error shows dev-perl/module-build as a build dep that does not exist.
2. paludis -qD dev-util/git shows dev-perl/Error as a runtime dep.

There are probably many more examples.
