Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-02-24 06:20:10 UTC
@perl, I need help.

For whatever reason, on my tinderbox host, `pod2man ./doc/crypto/X509_STORE_CTX_get_error.pod` throws an error, but it doesn't on my other system, and the Perl version is exactly the same on the two of them.

Ideas?
Comment 3 Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-05-02 06:19:11 UTC
Just hit this bug myself.

Seems like its this bug: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=84626 

Namely, Pod::Simple ( which Pod2Man uses ) started checking that if '=item $n' had a numeric value of $n, it would make sure all the items were in order, 
and its picky, and doesn't accept sequences starting with 0.

But the actual problem is even more complex: 

If you downgrade Pod::Simple to =virtual/perl-Pod-Simple-3.230.0:0 

A new error rises: 

X509_STORE_CTX_get_error.pod around line 281: You forgot a '=back' before '=head1'

And you can get rid of that one by downgrading Pod2Man by installing  =virtual/perl-podlators-2.4.2:0 

TL;DR => 

openssl need to fix their =back error, and we should dep on <=virtual/perl-Pod-Simple-3.230.0:0 until upstream unbreak numeric lists.
Comment 4 Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-05-02 06:31:37 UTC
er, sorry, I made it confusing, diegos' bug is caused by the version of Pod::Man, provided by perl-core/podlators 

Versions >=virtual/perl-podlators-2.5.0  exhibit this bug.

And additionally, >=virtual/perl-Pod-Simple-3.240.0 exhibits a second bug which hasn't been reported yet, but you'll likely stumble into solving this bug. 

And additionally, if you've installed >=virtual/perl-Pod-Simple-3.240.0 , you won't be able to downgrade perl-podlators, because its tests will fail, so you need to downgrade virtual/perl-Pod-Simple *before* downgrading perl-podlators

hope that clears things up.

Wouldn't it be easier to fix the POD text in openssl?

That would solve the problem, however, the POD itself is not "wrong" in my opinion, just POD upstream  are being too strict on what an '=items' list can contain.

Which means to patch it in a way that avoids this issue requires changing the POD significantly, as to avoid using =items entirely, or patching it so that all =items lines are '=item * 0' instead of '=item 0'

Whether that's the case or not, I think the proper place to host that discussion is upstream's tracker.

http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Attachment/36986/20049/ seems to have a workaround available for now, and since this isn't actual functionality but merely documentation, I don't see much issue in using it to get this working again for now.  It's not like this should break any packages dependant on openssl in ways that will be different when upstream openssl addresses this.
