dev-lang/perl upgrade failure

Post #1 of 3 (203 views)

I can't figure out why a perl update isn't building. This is only
happening on one single machine out of the half dozen Gentoo systems I
have running. I've never had issues building perl itself either.
Modules sure, but never the main perl package.

My search-fu is failing me as well, apparently, so I turn to y'all.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Attached are the output of:

- emerge -pqv '=dev-lang/perl-5.34.0-r9::gentoo' as emerge-pretend.txt
- emerge --info '=dev-lang/perl-5.34.0-r9::gentoo' as emerge-info.txt

And the build log as build.log

You might want to check out

The solution suggested is to clear out obsolete and unmaintained
packages which may be causing your build to hit the error check
with.

emerge -av --depclean
perl-cleaner --all

Always a good idea to do a regular cleanup with depclean and I
suggest running perl-cleaner with the -p "pretend" option first.

Nothing to depclean and perl-cleaner reports nothing to rebuild

None of the ideas here helped me either.

Neither did changing the LANG nor MAKEOPTS.

... however, I was able to figure out what was causing the failures, if
not why.

I had "icecream" in my FEATURES, even though I never bothered setting
up the service or anything to use it. I removed this from FEATURES and
the build completed successfully.

Lesson learned.
