Andreas, are you sure about version ? Please show emerge -pv app-portage/g-cpan
Hi Sergiy, yes, I think that's correct: mirror ~ # emerge -pv app-portage/g-cpan These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] app-portage/g-cpan-0.16.4 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB Andreas
Sorry Andreas, you are right problem exists. I just made another path that IMHO could be better, because it tries to resolve depends like those. Please check it if you want. As usually I added it to https://github.com/gentoo-perl/g-cpan/pull/1 I hope this will be included in the package some day :) See also (ebuild with full patch) https://github.com/bor/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/app-portage/g-cpan

This pull request was actioned and the fix has made it into the 0.16.5 release. My apologies for the rather extreme delay here.
