Bug 317625 – Perl 5.10 Modules Install to Root Directory

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Timm Murray 2010-04-28 13:46:50 UTC]

After installing perl 5.10.1, all perl module ebuilds install to the root directory:

$ ls /
Test  YAML.pm  boot  etc   lib         media  opt   root  sys  usr  your
YAML  bin      dev   home  lost+found  mnt    proc  sbin  tmp  var

Besides making a mess of root, perl cannot find the installed modules, because they're not in @INC. Reinstalling a 5.8-series perl did not fix it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge yaml
2. Module ends up in /

Actual Results:  
$ equery files yaml
[ Searching for packages matching yaml... ]

Did you run perl-cleaner after perl update ?

[Comment 2 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2010-04-29 06:11:57 UTC]

Please add `perl -V`

Would PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" be related?  Bug 210047
