Sync your tree: +# emerge --sync + +2. Perform a full world upgrade, e.g.: +# emerge -a -uvDU @world --keep-going=y + +3. If any failures occur, please run perl-cleaner --all, then try again: +# perl-cleaner --all + +4. Perform a world upgrade again. + +5. Once complete, depclean: +# emerge -a --depclean + +Rarely, it may be necessary to perform a one-off installation of a package, +but usually `perl-cleaner` will resolve the issue. If an error message occurs +after running perl-cleaner, try e.g. for a fictional package dev-perl/foo: +# emerge -a --oneshot --verbose dev-perl/foo + +If you have any issues, please consult the standard support channels [4] +(such as our forums or IRC channels) and we will do our best to get your +system working well again. + +[0] https://bugs.gentoo.org/802639 +[1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/592880 +[2] https://bugs.gentoo.org/793992 +[3] https://bugs.gentoo.org/199856 +[4] https://www.gentoo.org/support/
