'emerge --info' output

The ability to get stock quotes in Gnucash is no longer available after a recent upgrade and depclean run.  I am not sure if this is an issue with Gnucash somehow not requiring the right dependencies or it something on my system is not up-to-date.  That said, I have run revdep-rebuild and emerge --update --newuse --deep @world several times.

Looking around the web (i.e. http://superuser.com/questions/753878/gnucash-get-quotes-on-stock-price-from-the-internet/756467), I ran the command suggested and got the following output:

me@computer ~ $ gnc-fq-dump yahoo AMZN
/usr/bin/gnc-fq-dump cannot find all the Perl modules needed to run.
You need to install the following Perl modules:
  Finance::Quote
  LWP
  HTML::Parser
  HTML::TableExtract
  Crypt::SSLeay
Use your system's package manager to install them,
or run 'gnc-fq-update' as root.

Seems the issue was related to a perl upgrade and I needed to run:

# perl-cleaner --reallyall

Closing the bug
