I can't tell if there were any restarts involved because I have already
rebuilt them both as per hasufell's reply.

About Perl - what is the correct (user) way of handling the current
situation? That is, =perl-5.18* has been stabilized along with several
virtuals, and these depend on || ( =perl-5.18* perl-core/whatever ). The
correct resolution is to remove the old perl-core modules and install
perl-5.18, right? Paludis however doesn't present this in a very
understandable way, e.g.:

!   perl-core/IO
    Reasons: !<perl-core/IO-1.280.0 from
virtual/perl-IO-1.280.0-r1:0::gentoo, !>perl-core/IO-1.280.0-r999 from
virtual/perl-IO-1.280.0-r1:0::gentoo
    Unsuitable candidates:
      * perl-core/IO-1.25-r1:0::gentoo
        Did not meet !<perl-core/IO-1.280.0, use existing if possible,
installing to / (nothing is fine too) from !<perl-core/IO-1.280.0 from
virtual/perl-IO-1.280.0-r1:0::gentoo

How do I continue with the upgrade? Right now I'm installing =perl-5.18
using cave perform install and then manually uninstalling the perl-core/*
modules, followed by a forced (cave perform install) rebuild of the virtual
in question (because regular cave resolve wouldn't let me continue due to a
dependency on perl-5.16 in ::installed). It's a tedious and rather
ridiculous task for a human to do. What am I doing wrong?
