Description Han Boetes 2010-11-12 11:24:13 UTC

I used g-cpan to install Apache-Htpasswd, and then I wanted it to create an ebuild in my overlay. So I depcleaned Apache-Htpasswd and changed my make.conf like this:

GCPAN_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/g-cpan"

And tried to reinstal Apache-Htpasswd the same way as before and now I keep getting:

# g-cpan -i Apache-Htpasswd
-CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.21)
Going to read '/root/.cpan/Metadata'

 * Nothing to install!!


Reproducible: Always

dir /usr/local/portage/g-cpan exists ?

if not exists then this like bug for me

just change to
GCPAN_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
or create
/usr/local/portage/g-cpan

I can't reproduce the bug right now. And I can't remember the finer points since xmass and newyear went by.
