    Hi,

    I can't figure out why a perl update isn't building. This is only

    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?

    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.
