Perl-Critic fails to compile (perl 5.16.3 > 5.18.2) [Solved]

Message

Fitzcarraldo · Post by **Fitzcarraldo** » Fri Apr 11, 2014 12:59 pm

I have rerun perl-cleaner so many times over the last couple of days that I think my HDD is going to wear out.

The dev-lang/perl upgrade from 5.16.3 to 5.18.2 is causing me grief. I found the following threads that seem to cover the problem I'm having, but none of them solve my problem:

[SOLVED] XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[SOLVED] Perl-cleaner failing due to perl 5.16 / 5.18 conflict
having trouble with perl-5.18.2 and perl-cleaner [SOLVED]

I have tried:

Code: Select all

perl-cleaner --all

Code: Select all

perl-cleaner --reallyall

Code: Select all

perl-cleaner --reallyall -- --backtrack=30

They all fail when trying to compile Perl-Critic-1.118.0, as shown below:

The problem seems to be that several packages cannot find the Perl module XML::Parser even though it is installed.

I have even tried (successfully) installing it and List-MoreUtils using cpan, but that does not help; I still get error messages such as the following when trying to install several packages using perl-cleaner or manually:

Code: Select all

Can't locate List/MoreUtils.pm in @INC (you may need to install the List::MoreUtils module)

Code: Select all

checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool

As I am now at the stage where I do not know what else to try, I would be grateful for suggestions on what I should do to get these packages to install and enable perl-cleaner to run to completion.

Just how many (perl) things did you install outside portage (cpan included) ?

I have been using msgconvert.pl to convert Outlook .MSG files to .MIME files that KMail can read. To install it I followed the instructions on the author's Web site to install the Perl modules:

Code: Select all

cpan -i Email::LocalDelivery Email::Outlook::Message

I got the aforementioned error message regarding XML::Parser when I tried to 'upgrade world' yesterday, plus similar error messages regarding three or four other Perl modules -- I cannot recall which now -- that were also already installed (confirmed using eix). I first reinstalled them via Portage and, when that made no difference, I tried perl-cleaner. When that also threw up the aforementioned error message about List::MoreUtils, I reinstalled that via Portage but, when that made no difference either, I used cpan to re-install it. Then there are the various Perl modules that perl-cleaner built/rebuilt before it failed when it got to Perl-Critic (but I did not install those outside Portage):

EDIT: I have found the following thread on another site: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool which leads me to believe that the modules that the error messages are complaining about are not the root cause of the problem, but there are other modules they depend on that are missing. Is that what is happening? If so, how do I go about finding out which ones?

EDIT2: I have just found out about the instmodsh utility to list details about Perl modules, so here is what I have found out so far, in case it is relevant:

Code: Select all

# instmodsh

You need to do a world upgrade (`emerge -auvDN @world`) before cleaning out Perl; if you done that and it still doesn't work, can you then file this as a bug at Gentoo Bugzilla?

Read here how to write a bug report, for more in-depth details and troubleshooting steps you can read our Bugzilla HOWTO.

Fitzcarraldo · Post by **Fitzcarraldo** » Sat Apr 12, 2014 12:24 pm

I did do a world upgrade before running perl-cleaner but, as it did not run to completion (because of the aforementioned Perl problems), I then ran perl-cleaner, which also did not run to completion due to the aforementioned failure to re-merge Perl-Critic because Perl could not find List::MoreUtils (even though dev-perl/List-MoreUtils was already installed via Portage). As I mentioned in my earlier post, I tried re-installing List-MoreUtils via Portage and re-merging Perl-Critic but that made no difference. I also tried re-installing List::MoreUtils directly via cpan, and that also made no difference. Ditto for dev-perl/XML-Parser (XML::Parser). It's a vicious circle.

Could this problem have something to do with the fact that dev-perl/List-MoreUtils and dev-perl/XML-Parser are installed in different directories to the other Perl modules? Have a look carefully at the following output:

I have not looked at every installed Perl module using instmodsh, but, of those I have examined, they are all installed in /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.18.2/ except for List::MoreUtils and XML::Parser, which are installed in /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/. Could that be the cause of the problem? Portage is looking for those two modules in /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.18.2/ but they are in /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/ instead?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.18.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser

For one, '/usr/local', enough said.
Though it seems it's installed for the same perl version, the whole point is it shouldn't be there in the first place.

That's more or less what I've been expecting, btw.
See how may of those things in /usr/local (and - potentially - similar locations) were installed for a different perl version, but honestly, you should carefully just purge them all.

Fitzcarraldo · Post by **Fitzcarraldo** » Sat Apr 12, 2014 3:37 pm

Thanks for your reply, VoidMage. You'll have to forgive my ignorance; I know nothing about Perl (apart from installing the two modules I mentioned earlier I never touch it). Are you saying that everything Perl-related under /usr/local/ should not be there and that I should delete everything Perl-related in /usr/local/ and sub-directories? Why is Portage installing it all there then? On a Gentoo ~amd64 multilib installation, where would you expect all the Perl modules be located? Which environment variables should I check?

Below is the output of the command perl -V I ran first as root user, then under my own user account. Are you saying those are completely wrong? I'd appreciate advice, bearing in mind I have no knowledge of Perl internals in Gentoo. Thanks in advance.

Mixing Portage and non-Portage Perl might be a recipe for problems; so, trying to fix it without non-Portage Perl might be the way to go. You could manually rebuild the packages which are reported to be a problem; doing so, until that perl-cleaner by itself works again. This vicious circle might be a result of the introduction of subslots to the Perl packages; as in doing so, it changes the order in which things get rebuild a small bit. Enough to bring it to a confusing state. If needed and rebuilding the packages doesn't work, don't trust my further doubts; but consider to talk straight to the Gentoo maintainers, you can find their mail by looking for Perl on the list of Gentoo herds. Make sure to link them to this topic as it contains background information.

There's something pretty fishy about your perl installation.

Here (for perl 5.16) the paths look like this:

Code: Select all

  @INC:
    /etc/perl
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.16.3/i686-linux-thread-multi
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.16.3
    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.3/i686-linux-thread-multi
    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.3
    /usr/local/lib/perl5
    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.0/i686-linux-thread-multi
    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.0
    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.3/i686-linux-thread-multi
    /usr/lib/perl5/5.16.3
    .

for both root and a normal user.

(those perl 5.16.0 paths are probably just a leftover)
So, while that matches your output for root, the normal user comes up short.
Any chance, that besides those modules in /usr/local, you also have perl binary there ?

So, we've pretty much established that (at very least) your perl installation is shot to pieces.
Now, let's see if there are enough working pieces to recover smoothly.

Rule 0: nothing that's available in portage should be present in /usr/local; if portage ends up installing anything in /usr/local, that's nearly always caused by a misconfiguration on your side.

With so many perl binaries in /usr/local it's a bit surprising something didn't break earlier.
So, try to figure out if anything that in /usr/local got installed by portage and if not, remove it. If it did, try to reinstall and if it still ends up there read the build log till you figure out why it did. If that perl in /usr/local doesn't come from portage, that's the first thing you need to remove, as it will confuse many of the ebuilds to doing stuff wrong.

Just see which files did sys-lang/perl installed and remove the copies in /usr/local.

Many thanks for your advice. It's all good now. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Used "eix -I --only-names | grep perl" to find out which Perl-related packages were currently installed.

2. Unmerged all installed Perl-related packages:

6. It looked OK, so I ran perl-cleaner:

Code: Select all

# perl-cleaner --reallyall -- --backtrack=30

That ran to completion.

7. Checked if Perl-Critic and Test-Per-Critic would now merge. I don't know what installed them originally, but anyway I put them back, as they were installed before the problem started:

Code: Select all

# emerge -1v Perl-Critic Test-Perl-Critic

Which ran to completion this time.

8. Updated world:

Code: Select all

# emerge -uvDN --keep-going world

Which ran to completion this time.

9. Made sure dependencies are sane:

Code: Select all

# emerge @preserved-ebuild
# revdep-rebuild -i

Which also ran to completion.

Thanks again! Your help has been much appreciated.

Unfortunately the module Email::Outlook::Message is no longer installed, and it's not in Portage. I do use msgconvert.pl from time to time, and it has been very useful. I have already installed the module Email::LocalDelivery via Portage (dev-perl/Email-LocalDelivery), so I assume all I would need to do is issue the following command?

Code: Select all

# cpan -i Email::Outlook::Message

Is it worth me risking installing Email::Outlook::Message again? Could I install it in a way that would avoid any possibility of messing up the Perl internals that have just been fixed?

The cleanest way is to create your own ebuild in your overlay. You can automate this task by using g-ctan.
However, in your case you will find the ebuild in the srcshelton overlay (you can use http://gpo.zugaina.org to check such things).

Of course! I forgot to check 3rd-party overlays.

I downloaded the 0.912 ebuild from the srcshelton overlay, renamed it to Email-Outlook-Message-0.914.ebuild, as 0.914 is the latest version of Email::Outlook::Message in GitHub, and it merges perfectly. msgconvert.pl is now working again on my main laptop. Thanks.
