Description Bob 2004-12-08 01:48:18 UTC
While emerging ghone-mime-data-2.4.2.tar.bz2, a fatal error is encountered.   the error appears to be a perl dependency problem, but this error occurs in spite of the fact that libperl and perl are already emerged on the system. 

output of "emerge -uD world":
