While waiting for a fix, you can still install the previous version of virtual/perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker and perl-core/ExtUtils-MakeMaker and then you should be able to upgrade it without the circular dependency blocking you Confirmed with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64". Per comment #1 I worked around the issue by installing the older version of ExtUtils-MakeMaker, which does not depend on CPAN-Meta: emerge -1av =perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.56 =ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.56-r1 |
Attempting to emerge the package leads to a circular dependency. Since none of the packages have any use flags, it is not possible to break the cycle in the usual way, by building with some use flags omitted. pimple / # emerge perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker Calculating dependencies... done!
