So iv been through this once before but never had this much difficulty resolving. Simply trying to update packages. Confirmed i am on latest portage 2.3.0.

After 2 days of trying numerous fixes. Removing all virtual perl packages, all perl packages, etc, have not been able to get the conflicts to stop. Short of masking >100 packages i havnt been able to come up with a way to resolve.


Tried masking "<dev-lang/perl-5.22.2" to avoid the 5.20.* stuff but it keeps coming in. On top of this some stuff is now trying to demand perl-5.24.0-r1. I really dont care much which version I end up with if its maintainable. Preference has always been for stable unless ~amd64 is required.

perl-cleaner -reallyall and its variants have not been able to work around either.

None of my perl packages are ~amd64 right. (Checked and confirmed via grep -r perl /etc/portage)

I have 3 other system all have begun showing similar conflicts. Would like to end up with 5.22.2 if possible.

Going to keep troubleshooting tonight so ill post back if resolved. Any help appreciated. Latest error on update.




Code:


dev-lang/perl:0

So it looks like i was able to get past this. For anyone else who starts getting similar behavior two things seemed to be relevant to the fix that I didn't see in most forums/articles I found.

I had run a number of perl-cleaner --all and perl-cleaner --modules here as well.

1)This combination, mainly the first line.
emerge -C --ask $(qlist -IC 'perl-core/*')
emerge -uD1a $(qlist -IC 'virtual/perl-*')


2) raising --backtrack=300 to --backtrack=1000.

Hope this helps someone.
