dev-perl/Locale-gettext is already in RDEPEND do you have the package installed ?
# emerge -pv dev-perl/Locale-gettext [ebuild R ] dev-perl/Locale-gettext-1.05-r1 0 kB Should I re-emerge this package and see what happens or should we try to first figure out why this appears to be installed but isn't being found?
try re-emerging it please
That fixed the problem. Of course, now that I've re-emerged Locale-gettext, it will forever remain a mystery as to how it was damaged and what might have damaged it. For instance, maybe it wasn't installed right in the first place, or perhaps some other installation caused something to get messed up. I'm using full data journaling, and I've had no crashes, so I doubt it's disk-related.

Then perl doesn't find a bunch of modules until they are reinstalled because the search path changed.
Yes. That's probably it. Does that mean that Locale-gettext or some other package is missing a dependency on the ithreads flag to make it get recompiled?

A useflag solution was proposed before. I am not sure if it works well. We have to reconsider it. Your problem should be fixed by running perl-cleaner after installing perl. But the useflag-toggle problem was fixed in perl-cleaner-2 which is still masked. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 222767 ***
Will perl-cleaner always be automatically run after every update to a perl package? Or will we get a message suggesting that we run perl-cleaner?
(In reply to comment #9) > Will perl-cleaner always be automatically run after every update to a perl > package? Or will we get a message suggesting that we run perl-cleaner? No, it will not run automatically. dev-lang/perl will print a warning if its useflags are changed.
Well, I usually look at the messages. I guess I must have missed it. My concern is that people missing messages will result in excess bug reports, like mine. People with a good memory for unconnected details and an interest in system administration seem to be really on the ball with this stuff. Me, I'm a chip designer, and my memory is like 90% visual. I like coding software, but system administration is, for me, a necessary evil. I bring this up, because I can't be the only one. You have lots of users with plenty of brains but not enough interest in remembering fine details of a million packages. They would welcome some additional affordances. Don't take this as a complaint. I'd much rather use Gentoo than, say, Ubuntu, because with Gentoo, the devs actually take bug reports seriously, and people respond to questions in forums, and I can manage to get basic things (like software RAID1) to work. Gentoo, as a community and a distro, rocks. I'm just trying to throw another perspective into the mix.
