Bug 8725 – gentoo-stats dependency problem?

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 9067
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Weller 2002-10-03 13:47:36 UTC]

After emerging gentoo-stats, executing it fails with: 
--- 
Can't locate LWP/UserAgent.pm in @INC (@INC contains: 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/sbin/gentoo-stats line 6. 
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/gentoo-stats line 6. 
--- 
 
I guess it's a dependency issue, but who am I to guess? :)

I'm hitting this bug, too. Any known workaround? Which package contains LWP/UserAgent.pm?

[Comment 3 Maik Schreiber 2002-10-09 10:42:56 UTC]

LWP::UserAgent is contained in dev-perl/libwww-perl, which is a dependency of
gentoo-stats.

Which version of libwww-perl do you have installed? I have libwww-perl-5.64, and
it's running just fine. I don't have clue why it isn't running for you (yet).

[Comment 4 Sascha Silbe 2002-10-09 10:49:10 UTC]

I've the same version:

sascha@cube:~$ qpkg -I -v dev-perl/libwww-perl
dev-perl/libwww-perl-5.64 *

The problem is that libwww-perl installs LWP/UserAgent.pm to /usr/lib/site_perl/5.6.1, but gentoo-stats only has /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 (note the additional perl5) in its @INC.

cube root # qpkg -l dev-perl/libwww-perl-5.64 |grep LWP/UserAgent.pm
/usr/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/LWP/UserAgent.pm

cube root # gentoo-stats --new

Do you have any compatibility package installed or made any SymLink locally?

[Comment 5 Maik Schreiber 2002-10-09 10:59:20 UTC]

Ah, that sounds like the ExtUtils-MakeMaker bug.

Please try this:

# emerge --oneshot -u ExtUtils-MakeMaker
# emerge --oneshot libwww-perl
# gentoo-stats -new

[Comment 6 Stephen Boulet 2002-10-09 12:28:48 UTC]

Doing what you suggested didn't help:

# gentoo-stats -new

Let's try something more clean:

# emerge rsync

Check that you have a recent version of Portage now ("emerge -s ^portage$").
Current is 2.0.38. Use "emerge -u portage" if necessary.

# emerge -C libwww-perl ExtUtils-MakeMaker
# emerge --oneshot ExtUtils-MakeMaker libwww-perl
# gentoo-stats --new

[Comment 8 Sascha Silbe 2002-10-09 16:15:33 UTC]

That did not help. :(
"emerge --oneshot -u ExtUtils-MakeMaker" did nothing because ExtUtils-MakeMaker already was the latest version.
Re-emerging it did not help, either.

[Comment 9 Sascha Silbe 2002-10-09 16:32:17 UTC]

My base system is up to date. The "world" profile is nearly up to date (only postgresql and kde are pending because they have been updated in the last 24 hours). rsync server is rsync.nl.gentoo.org.

[Comment 10 Maik Schreiber 2002-10-09 17:44:03 UTC]

I suppose you also have perl-5.6.1-r7 then? That's also got to do with some
MakeMaker bug.

[Comment 11 Sascha Silbe 2002-10-09 17:45:21 UTC]

Yes, I do have perl-5.6.1-r7:

cube root # qpkg -I -v perl
sys-devel/perl-5.6.1-r7 *

[Comment 12 Maik Schreiber 2002-10-11 09:42:54 UTC]

This is clearly no dependency problem with gentoo-stats. libwww-perl (as well as
other unrelated Perl modules) installs into the wrong directory.

Assigning this bug to raker on request.

[Comment 13 Nick Hadaway 2002-10-11 12:31:00 UTC]

Earlier today the perl-module.eclass was updated.  Please update your portage 
tree and update software.  Please let me know if the problem is solved for you.

emerge rsync
emerge libwww-perl gentoo-stats

Hopefully the files in libwww-perl should be placed in the correct directory 
now.
