'emerge -uvDN world' wants to upgrade perl-gcpan/Math-GSL to version 0.27. Math-GSL tries then to install several other perl-gcpan packages, which are already installed as dev-perl packages: root@condor:/usr/local/portage/media-tv(136)# emerge -pvuNDt world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

At systems where Math-GSL-0.27 is installed the dependency generated by g-cpan is: DEPEND=">=dev-perl/Test-Exception-0.310.0 >=dev-perl/Test-Class-0.360.0 dev-perl/Test-Most dev-perl/extutils-pkgconfig dev-lang/perl" and at the systems, where the installation fails, it is: DEPEND=">=perl-gcpan/Test-Exception-0.31 >=perl-gcpan/Test-Class-0.37 perl-gcpan/Test-Most dev-perl/extutils-pkgconfig dev-lang/perl"
If I delete the /var/lib/cpan/perl-gcpan/Math-GSL directory at the affected system and recreate it with g-cpan -i Math-GSL, then the created Math-GSL-0.27.ebuild has again: DEPEND=">=perl-gcpan/Test-Exception-0.31 >=perl-gcpan/Test-Class-0.37 perl-gcpan/Test-Most dev-perl/extutils-pkgconfig dev-lang/perl"
I also tried a complete new installation of Math-GSL on a system where Math-GSL was never installed. Again /var/lib/cpan/perl-gcpan/Math-GSL/Math-GSL-0.27.ebuild contains: DEPEND=">=perl-gcpan/Test-Exception-0.31 >=perl-gcpan/Test-Class-0.37 perl-gcpan/Test-Most dev-perl/extutils-pkgconfig dev-lang/perl" and 'g-cpan -i Math-GSL' fails with: >>> Creating Manifest for /var/lib/cpan/perl-gcpan/Math-GSL Calculating dependencies \ [ Results for search key : Test-Differences ] [ Applications found : 2 ] * dev-perl/Test-Differences Latest version available: 0.610.0 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of files: 13 kB Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Differences/ Description: Test strings and data structures and show differences if not ok License: || ( Artistic GPL-1 GPL-2 GPL-3 ) * perl-gcpan/Test-Differences Latest version available: 0.61 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of files: 13 kB Homepage: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Differences/ Description: Test strings and data structures and show differences if not ok License: || ( Artistic GPL-1 GPL-2 GPL-3 ) !!!

I found the same error on two further systems. It looks for me if g-cpan with perl-5.16.1 does not recognize that there are dev-perl packages and that's why generate ebuild with dependencies on perl-gcpan packages: root@orca:/root(1)# emerge -pvD Math-GSL These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

================================================================= perl-gcpan/Math-GSL-0.27 was built with the following: USE="(multilib)"
I have seen similar things with other packages, the most recent being perl-gcpan/IPC-Run-0.92 and dev-perl/IPC-Run-0.920.0. Others were of the Test-XXX family, sorry I forgot which ones. The perl-gcpan variants were all pulled in as dependencies while the dev-perl ones were already installed. I could guess perl-gcpan fails to recognise them because of different version strings? Anyways, this is pretty annoying.
