Would you mind posting the `emerge -pv <package>` output and upload the full build.log ? I'm unable to reproduce... looks some strange dependency on perl-core/Pod-Simple ? But I don't have that installed and wireshark compiles fine for me.
Created attachment 337690 [details] build.log with perl-core/Pod-Simple-3.160.0 You are right to point at perl-core/Pod-Simple. The failure is happening with perl-core/Pod-Simple-3.160.0 installed (build.log attached). After unmerging perl-core/Pod-Simple or upgrading to perl-core/Pod-Simple-3.230.0 wireshark emerges OK.

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DWHEELER/Pod-Simple-3.26/ChangeLog says: 2011-07-09 David E. Wheeler <david@justatheory.org> * Release 3.17 [...] Added "recurse" option to Pod::Simple::Search. It's enabled by default; disable it to turn off recursion into subdirectories. Marc Green/Google Summer of Code. Looking at make-version.pl, I guess we should perhaps add these to DEPEND: >=perl-core/Pod-Simple-3.170.0 perl-core/Time-Local virtual/perl-Getopt-Long and drop dev-lang/perl since that's implicit. CC'ing perl@ for confirmation.

I just went and did that anyway.

sorry, but i think this change is wrong. wireshark doesn't care about these random perl deps, it only cares about `pod2html`. it makes no sense for wireshark to be depending directly on the random modules that `pod2html` itself happens to use. that's a total losing game. so imo, the change should be reverted and wireshark should only depend on dev-lang/perl. if a dep is missing, it's in perl itself. maybe the perl team wants to add a virtual/perl-pod2html package that other packages (like wireshark) can depend on to avoid circular dependencies.
If a virtual package is to be created, it should be virtual/perl-Pod-Html to match the name of the pseudo-distribtion in the Perl tree: https://metacpan.org/source/RJBS/perl-5.18.2/ext Though one should certainly _NOT_ be depending on perl-core/* directly, that's what we have virtuals for. Because .... Pod-Simple _is_ shipped with perl itself, and the virtuals are to intelligently ( not really ) determine whether to defer to perl, or to perl-core/* https://metacpan.org/source/RJBS/perl-5.18.2/cpan/Pod-Simple
if netmon doesn't mind, i'll revert the perl deps now to dev-lang/perl, and we can debate the pod2html aspect here. i don't think it's a super critical bug considering how few people have reported this problem.

There really aught to be a blocker somewhere so <virtual/perl-Pod-Simple-3.170 and <perl-core/Pod-Simple-3.170 are refused installation in conjunction with Perl >= 5.16, because pod2html is effectively broken in such a combination. That's the real solution we should be looking for here.
(In reply to Kent Fredric from comment #10) i don't see the point, but i can live with blockers as they don't bloat the dep graph. committed: http://sources.gentoo.org/net-analyzer/wireshark/wireshark-1.8.14.ebuild?r1=1.1&r2=1.2
Looking at the versions this bug is way obsolete. The real issue is probably that under certain rare circumstances people *might* have perl-core modules installed that are older than the bundled versions. Filed bug 527152 as base for discussion.
looks like my changes got lost in the shuffle, so i re-added them: http://sources.gentoo.org/net-analyzer/wireshark/wireshark-1.12.1.ebuild?r1=1.11&r2=1.12 http://sources.gentoo.org/net-analyzer/wireshark/wireshark-1.99.0.ebuild?r1=1.2&r2=1.3 http://sources.gentoo.org/net-analyzer/wireshark/wireshark-1.99.0-r1.ebuild?r1=1.1&r2=1.2
