I have reinstalled Gentoo Linux from source (2005.0 stage 1 - base install good and booting just fine); as part of this, I had to do an "emerge sync", all fine. I tried to install packages from Package CD. Some went ok. Many packages didn't: mozilla-firefox, k3b, arson, simplecdx, xine-ui,some others I can't remember right now). They all failed saying they couldn't find XML::Parser. I successfully emerged the XML-Parser from the Package CD. Still no joy. I did "emerge sync", tried to emerge the applications, same error. I emerged XML-Parser, then I finally got libbonobo to emerge successully. The applications are now building. I recommend the ebuild file to libbonobo to include XML-Parser (including specific version). Thanks, Harlan... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sync 2. emerge dev-perl/XML-Parser 3. emerge gnome-base/libbonobo 4. emerge {applications} Actual Results: Applications finally build correctly. Expected Results: emerge gnome-base/libbonobo should have found and included dev-perl/XML-Parser Hardware: IBM Thinkpad T21 (2648), 100GB HD, 256 MB RAM, 800 MHz CPU OS: Gentoo Linux 2005.0 stage 1 install, booting on it's own - no issues Any application that relied on libbonobo failed to compile when libbonobo failed.
No, you are supposed to run /usr/portage/dev-lang/perl/files/perl-cleaner which will fix your perl install to a sane state. Please search before filing bugs. Thanks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 41124 ***
