Bug 97639 – g-cpan: Path-Class should depend on dev-perl/module-build

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Michele Beltrame 2005-07-01 11:26:32 UTC]

While installing Path::Class with g-cpan I got this:

-----
Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6

 * Please post a bug on http://bugs.gentoo.org assigned to

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. g-cpan Path::Class (without having Module::Build installed)
2.
3.

I'm thinking you're using an old g-cpan - emerge g-cpan and try again (that  
sounds like a problem from the pre-split g-cpan)  

[Comment 2 Michele Beltrame 2005-07-02 01:57:32 UTC]

I'm using version 0.13.01, which is the latest stable. Should I better switch to
the ~masked 0.13.02?

Michele.

No, 01 should have been good. Let me actually take a look at this and get back 
to you (sorry - first response with this description is "it should work in 
newer one, you must be using the pre-split version " :) 
 
Actually, while i'm thinking of it - does emerge -p module-build say that it is 
installed? Maybe portage and perl are getting conflicting results here. 

[Comment 4 Michele Beltrame 2005-07-03 04:56:00 UTC]

No problem for the first responde, it was my fault that I didn't specify the
g-cpan version I was using. :-)

module-build is now installed, but that doesn't count as I emerged it by hand to
ensure proper installation of Path::Class. After doing this, g-cpan worked
without a flaw and installed Path::Class.

Thanks, Michele.

I agree - it doesn't count, it should have been detected and made a dep :/ 

[Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-09-04 04:12:13 UTC]

Mass re-assign.

[Comment 7 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-11-09 09:04:49 UTC]

Re-assign.

[Comment 8 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2006-11-19 12:02:29 UTC]

fixed in Gentoo::CPAN - if there's a Build.PL, we add module-build as a dep.
