Bug 310133 – x11-misc/xkeyboard-config: missing dependency dev-perl/XML-Parser

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 41124
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Mounteney 2010-03-18 20:33:18 UTC]

during emerge of xkeyboard-config, the following message appears during the configuration phase:

error:  XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start with a clean system without XML::Parser
2. emerge xkeyboard-config
Actual Results:  
The error message given in the 'description' step above, appears.

Expected Results:  
The message should not appear.  The package should be configured and installed.

Obtained with a fresh installation of Gentoo Linux.   Copied the /var/lib/portage/world from the old installation and ran emerge -quDN world.

Workaround:  emerge -q1 dev-perl/XML-Parser, then emerge -quDN world.

RDEPEND="x11-apps/xkbcomp"
DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
        >=dev-util/intltool-0.30
        dev-perl/XML-Parser"

You *must* run perl-cleaner after upgrading perl versions, as told by the elog message.

My apology.  As it was a new installation, there were 100s of packages and I missed perl-cleaner message in the elog.
