Description Brad Laue 2013-08-10 00:21:04 UTC

Recently the 'build' USE flag was removed from the perl ebuilds. 

The current dependency within the pidgin ebuild of: 

    perl? ( >=dev-lang/perl-5.8.2-r1[-build] )

Forced a downgrade of perl on my system to 5.16.1. Altering the perl dependency as follows: 

    perl? ( >=dev-lang/perl-5.8.2-r1 )

Solved the issue.

(Sidebar - not sure why portage didn't force me down to perl 5.8, but it wasn't close enough to the immediate problem for me to classify that as more than a curiosity).

Reproducible: Always
