Description Markus Knetschke 2014-04-07 13:27:42 UTC 
After a emerge -uDN world my system installed perl-5.18. After the update a lot of perl errors appear so I run perl-cleaner --all
perl-cleaner failed trying to install some packages which need perl-5.16 and some needing perl-5.18.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update system
2. Try to update more - getting perl errors
3. run perl-cleaner
Actual Results:  
perl-cleaner fails with attached message.

Expected Results:  
perl-cleaner fixes perl packages

emerge --info and perl-cleaner log attached

  =dev-lang/perl-5.16* required by (virtual/perl-IO-Zlib-1.100.0-r3:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)

But that's wrong. virtual/perl-IO-Zlib-1.100.0-r3 supports =dev-lang/perl-5.18* just fine and has done so since August.
Comment 4 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-04-07 13:53:34 UTC 
I had, today, with `perl-cleaner --reallyall`:

<snip>
dev-lang/perl:0

  (dev-lang/perl-5.16.3::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    =dev-lang/perl-5.16* required by (virtual/perl-Test-Simple-0.980.0-r2::gentoo, installed)
</snip>

And solved it by `emerge -C virtual/perl-Test-Simple`

So how about if you just `emerge -C virtual/perl-IO-Zlib` and let emerge pull it back in, if it needs it?

Comment 6 Markus Knetschke 2014-04-07 18:21:54 UTC 
emerge -C virtual/perl-Test-Simple
and
emerge -C virtual/perl-IO-Zlib
did not solve my problem, perl-cleaner tries to install both and quits with same error.
