Bug 555808 – Perl update perl-cleaner reports buggy packages

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description ncahill_alt 2015-07-24 17:56:46 UTC]

* 
 * It seems like perl-cleaner had to rebuild some packages.
 * 
 * If you have just updated your major Perl version (e.g. from 5.20.2 to 5.22.0),
 * and have run perl-cleaner _after_ that update, then this means most likely
 * that these packages are buggy. Please file a bug on http://bugs.gentoo.org/ and
 * report that perl-cleaner needed to reinstall the following list:
 *    dev-perl/Text-WrapI18N:0 dev-perl/TermReadKey:0 dev-perl/Text-CharWidth:0 dev-perl/SGMLSpm:0 dev-perl/XML-NamespaceSupport:0 dev-perl/XML-SAX-Base:0 dev-perl/XML-SAX:0 dev-perl/Locale-gettext:0 dev-perl/XML-Simple:0 dev-perl/XML-LibXML:0 app-text/po4a:0 perl-core/ExtUtils-Manifest:0 virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Manifest:0 perl-core/CPAN-Meta:0 virtual/perl-CPAN-Meta:0 dev-vcs/git:0

I don't use perl at all, it was a Perl upgrade from 5.20.2 to 5.22.  Probably there will be a flood of reports like this soon.

I'm using the latest GCC (5.2) so this not a good system for bug testing but in case there are others who have similar results, they can add to this bug report and there will be a place to collect them.  

Hopefully the fix is a simple update of those packages.

Thank you.
Neil Cahill.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Update perl.
2.  As advised, run perl-cleaner --all
3.  Profit!
Actual Results:  
It reinstalls a bunch of stuff for no seemingly obvious reason, especially if they haven't changed.

Expected Results:  
I'm not sure what the expected results should be.

Sorry, I messed up the post, it was scrolled off the bottom.

Please run a depclean.

These are expected to be fixed up by a depclean:
- perl-core/ExtUtils-Manifest:0
- virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Manifest:0
- perl-core/CPAN-Meta:0
- virtual/perl-CPAN-Meta:0

Then redo an update world and see if portage tries to reinstall additional things, then check back.
