Hello list, Today's routine update included dev-lang/perl-5.20.2 and two perl virtuals. Since emerging those portage has stopped working: perl-cleaner gives it a list of 71 packages to emerge but portage does nothing with them - it just exits silently. Then perl-cleaner lists some hundreds of files that it can't do anything with.
What's going on here? I've restored from last week's backup and added the offending perl packages to package.mask, but is that the right thing to do? -- Rgds Peter.
