Bug 483782 – media-libs/gegl needs compile time dep on dev-perl/XML-Parser

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 41124
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Prakash Punnoor 2013-09-05 18:48:38 UTC]

Subject says it all.

media-libs/gegl-0.2.0-r2  USE="cairo ffmpeg jpeg mmx png raw sdl sse svg -debug -jpeg2k -lensfun -openexr -umfpack"

errors out during configure time with

checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool


Reproducible: Always

Had the same error with

gnome-base/gconf-3.2.6-r1
and
net-dns/avahi-0.6.31-r2

but XML-Parser was installed:

~ # emerge -va1 XML-Parser

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] dev-perl/XML-Parser-2.410.0-r1  0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB

after reemerging it the xml errors were gone.

there must have some update broken it.

I did:
perl-cleaner --all -v
and it seems I had an update from 5.16.2 to 5.18.1

I believe your emerge output from a recent upgrade (stored long-term in /var/log/portage/elog/summary.log by default) contains something like this:

>>> Messages generated by process 13355 on 2013-09-05 09:36:06 CDT for package dev-lang/perl-5.18.1:

WARN: setup
UPDATE THE PERL MODULES:
After updating dev-lang/perl you must reinstall
the installed perl modules.
Use: perl-cleaner --all

btw, at next you will propably come into this bug:

I had this problem with gnome-doc-utils, gconf, and ibus.  Running perl-cleaner--reallyall, may have been overkill, but that got all to emerge.

[Comment 5 Patrick Lauer 2013-09-06 02:57:11 UTC]

There has been a "random" bug with dev-perl/XML-Parser where it is installed and nothing can find it, every time a simple reinstall fixes it. Maybe that one hit you again?

[Comment 6 Ben Kohler 2013-09-06 02:59:22 UTC]

This isn't really a bug, perl-cleaner --all is needed after every perl upgrade (5.x to 5.y), it's mentioned in perl's postmerge messages.  XML-Parser is by far the most common problem you'll first hit though, if you do not use perl-cleaner --all as suggested.
