emerge is written in python, so no worries there, you can't break it with perl. Sadly, with each new portage version the solution to these problems varies a bit. What you can try is emerge --deselect -a $(qlist -IC 'perl-core/*') emerge -ua1v dev-lang/perl $(qlist -IC 'virtual/perl-*') and afterwards again emerge -uDNav world If this does not help, another (slightly radical) try would be emerge -aC $(qlist -IC 'virtual/perl-*') $(qlist -IC 'perl-core/*') and afterwards emerge -uDNav world (which re-installs virtuals and perl-core packages if necessary) (This should not break anything since 1) virtuals dont contain any files, so temporarily removing them does not hurt your system, and 2) perl-core/* packages are updated versions of things that are already inside dev-lang/perl, so by removing stuff from perl-core you are just effectively downgrading these for the moment.) perl-cleaner should be run *after* perl has been upgraded, not before. If you still have problems, the output of emerge with the option "--verbose-conflicts" would be interesting (this shows the full list of the "xxx with the same problem"). - -- Andreas K.
