Is this an update from an existing installed version or is happening while installing for the first time? There's very rarely a need to email libperl yourself - it's almost always pulled in as a dep during 'emerge system' - was there some other issue here? Any additional info leading up to this would be helpful as this seems rather odd. That should read "emerge libperl yourself" not "email libperl yourself" - sorry. this is an update of libperl
an "emerge world" is updating libperl (i regularly do an "emerge sync" followed by an "emerge world" to keep my system up to date with the latest stable packages)
It looks like there is a new version of perl, which has libperl as a dependency.
The reason I ran it by itself, was just to try to isolate the problem.
Right now, and "emerge -p world" lists the following:
> emerge -p world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!

This is a slow machine which used to run X and KDE, but doesn't any more (and I never bothered to clean those packages out), so I was going through the "world" updates and updating the most necessary stuff for security sake. I figured the perl update was probably good, since I make heavy use of perl packages, especially SpamAssassin.
don't know if this helps, but if I go into /var/tmp/portage/libperl-5.8.2/work/perl-5.8.2/ and run ./configure.gnu, it seems to work OK, but I either can't, or don't know how to continue an emerge from there, and the dependencies seem to be stacking up more and more as I leave this longer... Help! While not an orthodox solution, until we figure out a better way, try this: ln -s bash /bin/ksh The noksh patch should solve this in cvs. |
