See attached report for detailed description of the problem.
Please upgrade your sys-apps/portage to 2.2.15 (NOT 2.2.16) and try again. You'll need to add to /etc/portage/package.keywords or /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords =sys-apps/portage-2.2.15 and then run emerge -u1a portage
Actually. BEFORE you update portage, try something else: remove all lines starting with perl-core/ from /var/lib/portage/world (with a text editor) and then try updating your system again (In reply to Andreas K.

(In reply to Paul Osmialowski from comment #0) > Cannot upgrade perl to version 0/5.20::gentoo since hundreds of packages > depend on version 0/5.18::gentoo It's normal for portage to complain about dependencies like dev-lang/perl:0/5.18= when you have unsolved blockers. In cases like this, the dev-lang/perl:0/5.18= atoms are not necessarily a problem, since they will be solved by a rebuild. So, you need to focus on making sure that all of the blockers are solvable. For example, you might uninstall the older perl modules that are blocked by newer modules, to see if that leads to a solution. Also, you might try with portage-2.2.16, since the changes from bug 531656 might help solve these perl dependencies. Note that portage-2.2.16 has a known regression (bug 539478), but it's only triggered when FEATURES=metadata-transfer is enabled.
With portage-2.2.16, after manually solving unrelated slot conflicts and blockers, the perl update calculation succeeds (triggers 91 rebuilds for me).
in my case, all the problems stemmed from a single package: logitechmediaserver-bin Once I removed that an ran perl-cleaner --all 5.20 installed without problem
In my case it resulted in removal of 43 packages then rebuild of 343 packages after perl upgrade (actually, it's ongoing process).
Created attachment 396044 [details] My blockers I'm stuck also, I attached tjr-perl-output.txt
(In reply to Tom from comment #15) > Created attachment 396044 [details] > My blockers Your emerge output shows lots of perl stuff being pulled in by @selected, which is not normal, and can trigger blockers. You can remove all the perl stuff from @selected like this: grep -v perl /var/lib/portage/world > /var/lib/portage/world.new mv /var/lib/portage/world /var/lib/portage/world.backup mv /var/lib/portage/world.new /var/lib/portage/world
My experience. My blockers was introduced mostly by perl-gcpan packages, so I just un-install them before upgrade and install again after.
That's what I finally did. But something inside me yelds it is not normal way of doing updates in mature Linux distro...
(In reply to Paul Osmialowski from comment #18) > That's what I finally did. But something inside me yelds it is not normal > way of doing updates in mature Linux distro... Yeah, we need to make it as easy as possible to resolve these kinds of conflicts.
(In reply to Paul Osmialowski from comment #18) > That's what I finally did. But something inside me yelds it is not normal > way of doing updates in mature Linux distro... Mature Linux distro doesn't let you hack stuff with perl-gcpan. If you use hackish tools, you are on your own.
Wouldn't be possible to simply change the emerge output a bit to ensure: [blocks B ] <perl-core/AutoLoader-5.740.0 ("<perl-core/AutoLoader-5.740.0" is blocking virtual/perl-AutoLoader-5.740.0) [blocks B ] <perl-core/parent-0.228 ("<perl-core/parent-0.228" is blocking virtual/perl-parent-0.228-r1) [blocks B ] <perl-core/Time-HiRes-1.972.600 ("<perl-core/Time-HiRes-1.972.600" is blocking virtual/perl-Time-HiRes-1.972.600-r1) [blocks B ] <perl-core/MIME-Base64-3.140.0 ("<perl-core/MIME-Base64-3.140.0" is blocking virtual/perl-MIME-Base64-3.140.0-r1) [blocks B ] <perl-core/Test-Simple-1.1.2 ("<perl-core/Test-Simple-1.1.2" is blocking virtual/perl-Test-Simple-1.1.2) are always shown at the end of the output? That way administrators will tend to resolve that blockers manually and, after that, re-run emerge (and it should succeed). I remember to try to resolve the blockers before because of the "experience"... but it is not obvious when the blockers output is lost because the output relates with slots conflicts are shown at the end :)

Usually I focus on fixing the slot conflicts first, and after I've done that, most of the blockers solve automatically. Sometimes the blockers don't solve automatically simply because you need to remove an obsolete package from @selected (see comment #16).
I am talking for the case of blockers that cannot be resolved automatically (usually because it involves removing packages present in world file). In that case the messages pointing to the blockers should be shown at the end to let people to start by fixing them manually
The blocker display actually has two parts. The first part is currently displayed at the end of the merge list. The second part, which shows the reverse dependencies of packages involved in blocker conflicts, is displayed at the end of the output. If we move the blocker display from the end of the merge list to the end of the output, then I'm afraid that it will put too much emphasis on blockers in cases where slot conflicts are the only problem that really needs attention. Users really need to look at all of the output before they decide which conflicts need attention.
Well... as hardblockers will always need to be manually handled, I guess it will be useful to put more emphasis on them as they will need attention sooner or later (and better to fix them as soon as possible to let portage dep resolved to do a better job next time the user re-runs emerge, avoiding in that way to get subslot errors that can be solved automatically by portage once the hardblockers are solved)
If we do detach the blockers from the merge list, I think it would make sense to display them just before the reverse dependencies of the packages involved in the blocker conflicts are displayed, since those reverse dependencies only make sense within the context of the blockers. Anyway, I think any such formatting adjustments to the blocker display are best handled as a separate bug report, since it seems only tangentially related to perl upgrade issues.
In following commit includes a fix in depgraph _slot_operator_update_probe method that should fix emerge to trigger rebuilds in some cases where it failed before: https://github.com/gentoo/portage/commit/11467fc640995e3dc8897c82bbc7130d5bf27d05 The relevant change involves the atom_not_selected variable, which is used to ignore atoms that have not been selected during evaluation of || dependencies. Since perl dependencies often involve || dependencies, this fix may help emerge to trigger rebuilds for perl upgrades.
This bug is problematic because some packages suddenly require >=5.20, such as virtual/perl-Time-Local . (dev-lang/perl-5.20.1-r4:0/5.20::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by =dev-lang/perl-5.20* required by (virtual/perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML-0.12.0:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) ^ ^^^^^ (and 19 more with the same problem) (dev-lang/perl-5.18.2-r2:0/5.18::gentoo, installed) pulled in by =dev-lang/perl-5.18* required by (virtual/perl-Pod-Parser-1.600.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^ ^^^^^ dev-lang/perl:0/5.18=[-build(-)] required by (dev-perl/Crypt-RC4-2.020.0-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^^^^^^^^ I am trying perl-cleaner --all now.

If emerge fails to trigger the rebuilds automatically, perl-cleaner might do it for you, or you can make emerge do the rebuilds by specifying the packages that need to be rebuilt on the emerge command line (in that case you should use --oneshot in order to avoid polluting /var/lib/portage/world).

Actually, the whole dependency looks like this: || ( =dev-lang/perl-5.18* ~perl-core/Pod-Parser-1.600.0 ) So, you need to make sure that ~perl-core/Pod-Parser-1.600.0 is available (and not masked) if you _do_ want the >=5.20 upgrade.
