RE: [gentoo-user] [blocks B ] dev-perl
emerge ExtUtils-MakeMaker -C emerge babygimp -vp Dhruba, OK, thanks. That will apparently work, but why has this happened? I'd like to understand why, after being a Gentoo user for 4-5 months, I'm suddenly seeing a bunch of these sorts of messages. Is this due to some new portage policy? I assume it's a portage or emerge update that's caused this? And will 'emerge -pC package' tell me if I'm going to break something else by removing the package?

Mark, check out this week's GWN: http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20030728-newsletter.xml The long and short of it is that due to changes in the way modules are handled with Perl, some modules need to be remerged.

This looks like the explanation I was asking Dhruba for. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
