A file is not listed in the Manifest: '/var/lib/cpan/perl-gcpan/Best/Best-.ebuild' How can I get rid of "Best". It is not installed: root@grizzly:/root(77)# qlist -Iv Best It was anytime installed as a dependency of an other g-cpan package, but 'equery d' does not show this depency: root@grizzly:/root(78)# equery d Best * These packages depend on Best: There is no g-cpan option to deinstall packages: root@grizzly:/root(80)# g-cpan -h Usage : g-cpan <Switch(es)> Module Name(s) --generate,-g Generate ebuilds only (Requires working overlays) --install,-i Try to generate ebuild for the given module name and, if successful, emerge it. Important : installation requires exact CPAN Module Name. --list,-l This command generates a list of the Perl modules and ebuilds handled by g-cpan. --log,-L Log the output of g-cpan. --search,-s Search CPAN for the given expression (similar to the "m /EXPR/" from the CPAN Shell). Searches are case insensitive. --upgrade,-u Try to list and upgrade all Perl modules managed by g-cpan. It generate up-to-date ebuilds, then emerge then. --verbose,-v Enable (some) verbose output. --cpan_reload Reload the CPAN index Portage related options --ask,-a Ask before installing --buildpkg,-b Tells emerge to build binary packages for all ebuilds processed in addition to actually merging the packages. --buildpkgonly,-B Creates binary packages for all ebuilds processed without actu- ally merging the packages. --pretend,-p Pretend (show actions, but don't emerge). This still generates new ebuilds. I tried to remove all Best related files: root@grizzly:/root(84)# rm /mnt/test3/var_grizzly/cache/edb/dep/var/lib/cpan/perl-gcpan/Best-0.14 /mnt/test3/var_grizzly/log/portage/elog/perl-gcpan:Best-* /usr/portage_grizzly/distfiles/Best-* /mnt/test3/var_grizzly/cache/edb/dep/var/lib/cpan/perl-gcpan/Best* /mnt/test3/var_grizzly/log/portage/elog/perl-gcpan:Best* /usr/portage_grizzly/distfiles/Best-0.14.tar.gz /var/log/portage/elog/perl-gcpan:Best-* Often this is not enough to avoid, that the next 'g-cpan -u' still tries again to emerge "Best". Is there not a better way to get rid of g-cpan installed package.
Hello, You can use perl-experimental overlay (https://github.com/gentoo-perl/perl-experimental) $ layman -a perl-experimental This overlay contain this module (and more) Also you can try fixed version of g-cpan (https://github.com/bor/g-cpan) Ebuild you can find here https://github.com/bor/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/app-portage/g-cpan and report how it works (would be very grateful) for me it works fine
The last versions (>0.16.5) should not be affected. Please test it.
