Description Sterling Christensen 2004-07-01 03:29:13 UTC

I've looked at the other bugs on XML-Parser and gnome-icon-theme, where people were told to rebuild perl modules whenever they upgrade perl, but I DIDN"T upgrade perl!

All I did was a stage 3 2004.1 install, and then tried to emerge gnome-icon-theme.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. stage 3 2004.1 Gentoo install
2. emerge gnome-icon-theme

Actual Results:
I get the exact same error message as in bug #52668:

Perhaps perl was upgraded without rebuilding modules on the machine used to
generate the stage 3 tarball. My stage 3 install seems to have come that way.

I think part of the problem is simply dev-perl/XML-Parser needs to be added as a dependency of x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme (in some way).  I did not have dev-perl/XML-Parser installed and was allowed to emerge x11-themes/gnome-icon-theme none-the-less.

Hope this helps :-).

this is currently:
DEPEND="sys-devel/gettext
        x11-themes/hicolor-icon-theme
        >=dev-util/intltool-0.29"



Quoting intltool deps:
DEPEND=">=dev-lang/perl-5.6.0"
RDEPEND="dev-perl/XML-Parser
        ${DEPEND}"


Which translates as "Build dependency of gnome-icon-theme includes XML-Parser" 

So, could you please check your emerge.log? (attach it if nothing else) because something was weird with your perl/XML-Parser install

Comment 3 Sterling Christensen 2004-08-07 07:09:03 UTC

My install of XML-Parser came with the stage 3 tarball, so there's nothing in emerge.log about it. If there's something weird with it, I think it's probably a problem with the stage 3 tarball.
