Bug 106784 – Bind compiles with linux-caps, allthough it shouldn't (threads USE-flag is disabled)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Georges Toth 2005-09-21 06:12:04 UTC]

I was just upgrading my bind installation, and as I don't have linux-caps, I  
have disabled the threads USE-flag (as described in several other bugs).  
  
But bind still compiles with linux-caps enabled.  
My guess is that it compiles per default _with_ linux-caps, and it did for me,  
because the ebuild only ENABLES linux-caps, but doesn't DISABLE them,  
if threads is disabled.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="-threads" emerge bind 
2. try to run bind on a system without linux-caps 
3. 
 
Actual Results:  
bind fails to start  

Expected Results:  
bind should start 

I made a binary package for bind, on a system which does have 
linux-caps. 
Dunno if that matters...

I made some changes to the ebuild and now it works! :-) 
Here is what I did:

I just disabled threads+caps if the threads USE-flag is disabled
