dev-util/svk-1.00 is masked on amd64 as are two of it's dependancies. This is what I had to add to package.keywords in order to get SVK installed. A number of these modules are pure-perl so if they work one arch that should work on all archs (unless there are arch bugs in perl itself). Perhaps there should be a change of policy with reguards to ebuilds for Perl modules? dev-util/svk ~x86 dev-perl/SVN-Mirror ~x86 dev-perl/IO-Pager ~x86 dev-perl/Locale-Maketext-Simple ~amd64 dev-perl/File-Type ~amd64 dev-perl/SVN-Simple ~amd64 dev-perl/Data-Hierarchy ~amd64 dev-perl/Algorithm-Annotate ~amd64 dev-perl/PerlIO-via-symlink ~amd64 dev-perl/Regexp-Shellish ~amd64 dev-perl/IO-Digest ~amd64 dev-perl/PerlIO-via-dynamic ~amd64 dev-perl/PerlIO-eol ~amd64 dev-perl/yaml ~amd64 dev-perl/Class-Autouse ~amd64 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Ugh, duplicate broswer submission of bug #92678.
