There seem to be some problems with this release on Gentoo.  Out of the 
box, it *builds and installs* fine, but fails badly on startup due to 
failing to find URI::Find::Schemeless.  This seems to be an issue that I 
haven't yet isolated, related to the new URIFind.pm module.  Everything 
that tries to use URI::Find::Schemeless errors out:

sympa                     |Base class package "URI::Find::Schemeless" is 
empty.
sympa                     |    (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module 
which defines that package first,

line 30.

/usr/lib64/sympa is already in @INC, so it's not immediately evident to 
me what the problem is.


After some research, I tried adding:

use URI::Find::Schemeless;

before:

use base qw(URI::Find::Schemeless);

in Sympa/HTML/URIFind.pm, and this appeared to resolve the URIFind.pm 
errors.  With this change, all of the Sympa components start correctly. 
However, with 6.2.78, fastcgi crashes after the first interaction with 
the Sympa UI and cannot be restarted.  Re-merge 6.2.76, restart fastcgi, 
and everything is fine again.  I'm not certain how to debug this 
problem.  Is 6.2.78 doing anything *differently* with fastcgi relative 
to 6.2.76?  I can see no obvious reason for it, but it is absolutely 
100% reproducible.  You get one operation in 6.2.78, one page load, then 
fastcgi crashes.



Additionally, ONLY AFTER rolling back to 6.2.76 after updating to 
6.2.78, I began seeing 6.2.76 failing to start, with bulk.pl, 
archived.pl, bounced.pl and task-manager.pl all throwing errors when 
trying to start:

'Duplicate specification "foreground|F" for option "f"'

I was able to resolve this by patching 6.2.76's archived.pl, bounced.pl, 
bulk.pl, and task_manager.pl from:

use Getopt::Long;

to

use Getopt::Long qw(:config no_ignore_case);

as is presently in 6.2.78.  I'm not certain whether this is the 
*correct* fiux, but it seems to work.  Why this was working BEFORE 
trying to upgrade to 6.2.78, I have no idea.  I can only assume that 
installing 6.2.78 had some non-obvious side-effect that was NOT reverted 
by rolling back to 6.2.76, but I haven't yet been able to identify what 
that might be.


I have updated net-mail/sympa-6.2.76 in 
https://github.com/UnixRonin/gentoo-alaric.git to 
net-mail/sympa-6.2.76-r1.  I have REVOKED net-mail/sympa-6.2.78 until I 
can resolve the fastcgi crashing problem.
