I used g-cpan to install Apache-Htpasswd, and then I wanted it to create an ebuild in my overlay. So I depcleaned Apache-Htpasswd and changed my make.conf like this: GCPAN_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/g-cpan" And tried to reinstal Apache-Htpasswd the same way as before and now I keep getting: # g-cpan -i Apache-Htpasswd -CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.21) Going to read '/root/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Fri, 12 Nov 2010 10:34:13 GMT |CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.47) CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.03) Checksum for /root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/K/KM/KMELTZ/Apache-Htpasswd-1.8.tar.gz ok CPAN: Archive::Tar loaded ok (v1.68) Apache-Htpasswd-1.8/ Apache-Htpasswd-1.8/MANIFEST Apache-Htpasswd-1.8/META.yml Apache-Htpasswd-1.8/Htpasswd.pm Apache-Htpasswd-1.8/test.pl Apache-Htpasswd-1.8/README Apache-Htpasswd-1.8/Makefile.PL CPAN: File::Temp loaded ok (v0.22) * MIME::Base64 is part of the core perl install * Ebuild already exists for Digest-SHA1 (dev-perl/Digest-SHA1) * Ebuild already exists for Crypt-PasswdMD5 (dev-perl/Crypt-PasswdMD5) * Nothing to install!! Reproducible: Always
dir /usr/local/portage/g-cpan exists ? if not exists then this like bug for me just change to GCPAN_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" or create /usr/local/portage/g-cpan
I can't reproduce the bug right now. And I can't remember the finer points since xmass and newyear went by.
