Bug 253340 – x11-misc/zim-0.27 ebuild misses dependency on perl-core/Module-Build

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sergej Pisarenko 2009-01-01 10:09:24 UTC]

x11-misc/zim-0.27 misses a dependency on a package perl-core/Module-Build. When attempting to install quits compilation with a reference to a missing Module-Build. Emerging perl-core/Module-Build by hand solves the issue. Obviously, the bug would not manifest itself on a system where perl-core/Module-Build is already available.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =x11-misc/zim-0.27
2. compile fails due to missing perl-core/Module-Build

I was trying to upgrade my old zim, and found that 0.27 would not compile. The last lines of my build.log file are:

... installing perl-core/Module-Build along with its dependencies fixed the problem.
