Things seemed to be OK after manually updating perl-IO-Compress
and removing perl-IO-Compress-Zlib:
emerge perl-IO-Compress
emerge -C perl-IO-Compress-Zlib
Maybe someday I'll understand Portage, but I doubt it -- it's
been 5 years.
I've noticed that the 'virtual' packages are shifting sands, they
disappear
from under your feet :o)
Looking in /usr/portage/virtual/ I don't see any
perl-IO-Compress-Zlib, so
I'm assuming it was removed from portage. I have perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2
installed, which also doesn't exist any longer.
I'm not 100% sure but I think eix-test-obsolete will find things like
this. It will also scan the /etc/portage/package.* files and a few
other things as well.
Be forewarned, the output can be pretty . . . . large. lol It mostly
depends on how out of date things are. Mine is usually huge. Thanks
goodness for Konsole and being able to scroll up.
