[Description Gregg Casillo 2004-01-29 11:38:17 UTC]

During an "emerge world -u" today, I got this on vim-6.2-r6:

Not sure what happened or why.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -u world
2. emerge gets to vim-6.2-r6
3. get aforementioned error



Expected Results:  
successful emerge world -u including vim-6.2-r6

I also tried with ccache and distcc disabled which sometimes helps in situations
like this. Unfortunately, no luck.

Try remerging perl prior to emerging vim

[Comment 2 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2004-02-08 07:29:18 UTC]

I think remerging perl is the key.  Please re-open if this continues to be a problem.
