[gentoo-user] perl-cleaner output

2016-10-07 Thread Daniel Frey
So, I was upgrading several machines, and as a habit I always run perl-cleaner. Every machine gave me an output like so with somewhat different package lists: * * It seems like perl-cleaner had to rebuild some packages. * * If you have just updated your major Perl version (e.g. from 5.20.2 to 5.2
