It means dev-lang/perl should not be installed along with the above mentionned modules (these may have been included in perl-5.8.0-r12 and then conflict with perl package). To resolve this, just remove the blocked modules from your system and then emerge perl. You may want to see for yourself in /usr/portage/dev-lang/perl/perl-5.8.0-r12.ebuild, look at the DEPEND= line. > [ebuild U ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12 [5.8.0-r10] > [ebuild U ] sys-apps/gawk-3.1.3 [3.1.2-r3] > [ebuild U ] dev-perl/File-Spec-0.84-r1 [0.82] > [ebuild U ] dev-perl/Test-Simple-0.47-r1 [0.47] > [ebuild N ] sys-devel/gnuconfig-20030708 > [ebuild U ] dev-php/mod_php-4.3.2-r4 [4.3.2-r3] > [ebuild U ] dev-db/phpmyadmin-2.5.2 [2.5.1] > [ebuild U ] net-analyzer/nagios-core-1.1-r3 [1.1-r2] > [ebuild U ] app-admin/ufed-0.33 [0.32] > [ebuild N ] dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay-0.49 > [ebuild U ] dev-perl/libwww-perl-5.69-r1 [5.69] > [ebuild U ] net-analyzer/nagios-plugins-1.3.0-r2 [1.3.0-r1] > > mail jnichols # > > > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- BOFH Excuse #401: Sales staff sold a product we don't offer. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
