After syncing today, emerge now tells me that the 2.020 "stable" version of virtual/perl-IO-Compress that I've had installed since August requires the "testing" version of Perl (5.10.1)
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "~dev-lang/perl-5.10.1" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-lang/perl-5.10.1 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword) /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Torsten Veller <[email protected]> (20 Sep 2009) # Add perl-5.10 masks (#280724) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. (dependency required by "virtual/perl-IO-Compress-2.020" [installed]) (dependency required by "virtual/perl-IO-Compress-Zlib-2.020" [installed]) (dependency required by "world" [argument]) That version of virtual/perl-IO-Compress has been happy with the stable version of Perl (5.8) for the past four months. Why all of a sudden today does it now require Perl 5.10? -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! I'm continually AMAZED at at th'breathtaking effects visi.com of WIND EROSION!!
