Description Pascal Brax 2004-08-23 03:28:30 UTC

today i tried an emerge -uD world and gnome-themes stopped at the ./configure step because perl was not installed. i wonder how i could install gnome-themes before... maybe dependencies for gnome-themes should be fixed now.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -uD gnome-themes


Actual Results:  
...
checking for intltool >= 0.23 ... 0.30 found
checking for perl ... /usr/bin/perl
configure: error: XML::Parser perl module required for intltool

yet another bugreport that could've been avoided if one used the search function before filing. (no harm intended, but the tone & title of this bugreport is deragotory & implicitive)

I really apologize, the title was intended as an humoristic one, i failed in this attempt. anyway i searched for gnome-themes in the search form and i found just 3 bugs that i didn't thought they're related to this one.
sorry again ;)
