Bug 581892 – media-gfx/slic3r pulls unstable version of perl and modules.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Eric "me262" Mason 2016-05-02 21:46:47 UTC]

Problem: emerge -av slic3r pulls in multiple unstable requests, leading to a forced upgrade to perl-5.22.1 unstable, and pulls perl-5.20.2 into emerge, resulting in a slot conflict.

from stable system:

I have managed to get perl-5.22 installed, and a number of perl components installed through --nodeps flag.

1. Mixing ~arch and arch is not "officially" supported, but we still do what we can where possible.

2. However, the work involved to avoid forcing perl-5.22 was semi-large and threatened risking complicating people's next upgrade.

3. Stabilization is happening very very soon, and Perl 5.22 will become "Stable", avoiding this bug being a problem. ( And had we satisfied #2, we'd make #3 harder )

There's nothing really to do here other than not mix arches or wait for stabilization. The problem should go away very shortly after we get bug #567482 done.

Of note, you can add my overlay via "layman -a axs" to gain easy access to perl-core modules on par with dev-lang/perl-5.22.  Then it's just a matter of keywording the various dev-perl and virtual packages.

slic3r is now in the gentoo main repo (which is why I was getting these problems). I was using it from axs until just recently.

Good to know on the keywording and perl issues.
I think I just need to work through "perl-cleaner --reallyall" mixed with "emerge -av1 --nodeps package" a bit on getting these updated to 5.22, which is looking like the main issue that the existing packages are locking to 5.20. I seem to be having this issue on another computer here from 5.18 to 5.20.

[Comment 4 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) 2016-05-03 21:25:37 UTC]

I'm closing this one -- its not a bug to require ~arch deps when the package itself is ~arch.  If slic3r was stable on any arch that would be another thing, but it's not.
