upstream are splitting libwww-perl into half a dozen smaller packages. This means anything that needs one of the components of libwww-perl presently depends directly on libwww-perl, which will break run-time as of 6.0 Currently, these are the packages that are known to constitute what will be 6.0 of libwww-perl. libwww-perl-6.0 is not out yet, so I don't know if it will depend on these things or not, but I suspect it will. Even if it doesn't, we should probably put these all in as dependencies ourself to avoid breaking anything that currently uses them, and then slowly migrate them out where possible. http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/HTTP-Cookies-6.00/ HTTP::Cookies HTTP::Cookies::Microsoft HTTP::Cookies::Netscape http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/HTTP-Daemon-6.00/ HTTP::Daemon http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/HTTP-Negotiate-6.00/ HTTP::Negotiate http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/HTML-Form-6.00/ HTML::Form http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/HTTP-Message-6.00/ HTTP::Config HTTP::Headers HTTP::Headers::Auth HTTP::Headers::ETag HTTP::Headers::Util HTTP::Message HTTP::Request HTTP::Request::Common HTTP::Response HTTP::Status http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Net-HTTP-6.00/ Net::HTTP Net::HTTP::Methods Net::HTTP::NB Net::HTTPS http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/File-Listing-6.00/ File::Listing http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/HTTP-Date-6.00/ HTTP::Date http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/LWP-MediaTypes-6.01/ LWP::MediaTypes http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/WWW-RobotRules-6.00/ WWW::RobotRules WWW::RobotRules::AnyDBM_File
libwww-perl-6.0 was released: > Unbundled all modules not in the LWP:: namespace from the libwww-perl > distribution. The new broken out CPAN distribtions are File-Listing, > HTML-Form, HTTP-Cookies, HTTP-Daemon, HTTP-Date, HTTP-Message, HTTP-Negotiate, > Net-HTTP, and WWW-RobotRules. libwww-perl-6 require these to be installed. So no failure to be expected.
The current libwww-perl-6.10.0.ebuild does not have HTML-Form as a requirement.
(In reply to comment #2) > The current libwww-perl-6.10.0.ebuild does not have HTML-Form as a requirement. Correct. It's not a dependency of libwww-perl-6. The ebuilds in the tree needing HTML::Form should be fixed already. Please file a new bug if we missed some!

Or do we want to add dev-perl/HTML-Form as dependency? libwww-perl-6 doesn't strictly need/use HTML::Form but it recommends it.
All versions <dev-perl/libwww-perl-6 were removed from the tree. Time to close this bug now. Thanks
