Bugzilla Bug 155360

I wanted to emerge app-pda/libopensync-plugin-kdepim. Unfortunately, that
package seems to require kde-base/ktnef and kde-base/libkcal which are blocked
by the installed kde-base/kdepim.

On the other hand, kde-base/kdepim should already contain the libraries
required by app-pda/libopensync-plugin-kdepim. Indeed, if I force the
installation, everything looks OK, but then I break the dependency tree.

I did not get completely how the kde packages are now organized. For kdepim,
for instance, one can apparently choose among kde-base/kdepim-meta,
kde-base/kdepim, or single ebuilds and my guess is that the dependencies of
app-pda/libopensync-plugin-kdepim have been assigned only against the split
ebuilds.

Reproducible: always.

How to reproduce: if you have kde-base/kdepim installed, try to emerge
app-pda/libopensync-plugin-kdepim

Post emerge -pvt app-pda/libopensync-plugin-kdepim output, works just fine
here.

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

The stuff in kde eclasses apparently doesn't work properly then...

I think this may be a small problem in the ebuild of
app-pda/libopensync-plugin-kdepim, it currently only depends on libkcal

DEPEND="...
        kde-base/libkcal"

Shouldn't it be something like "|| (kde-base/libkal kde-base/kdepim)" to either
depend on libkcal or the complete kdepim? Not sure about the exact syntax right
now, don't have access to my machine atm.

My mistake, sry. Will fix that soon.

Ok, fixed. Thanks all.

afaik there should be some whitespace around parentheses.
"|| ( kde-base/libkal kde-base/kdepim )"
