If "perl-cleaner --all" doesn't fix it, then do it the long way round: unmerge Crypt-PasswdMD5, emerge perl-5.20.2 then emerge Crypt-PasswdMD5 back. There may be more perl modules causing the same issue before you can successfully emerge perl-5.20.2. List them and do the above for all. > > How to solve it?
