Bugzilla Bug 155530

sys-apps/discover won't emerge; I believe it is because it is trying to build a
static version of itself, but it depends on mit-krb5 (specifically
libgssapi_krb5), which doesn't supply a static library for itself anymore;
therefore the emerge fails. Take a look at the results of "ls /usr/lib/*gss*":

/usr/lib/libgssapi.a            /usr/lib/libgssapi.so.2     
/usr/lib/librpcsecgss.la
/usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so      /usr/lib/libgssapi.so.2.0.0 
/usr/lib/librpcsecgss.so
/usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2    /usr/lib/libgssrpc.so       
/usr/lib/librpcsecgss.so.3
/usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2.2  /usr/lib/libgssrpc.so.4     
/usr/lib/librpcsecgss.so.3.0.0
/usr/lib/libgssapi.la           /usr/lib/libgssrpc.so.4.0
/usr/lib/libgssapi.so           /usr/lib/librpcsecgss.a

I ran ldconfig manually to make sure it was seeing libgssapi_krb5 and it is
indeed seeing it. Following is an emerge --info; I'll attach the emerge log.

Emerge log for sys-apps/discover

same problem here, 2.0.2 emerges fine but 2.0.7 has exact same error and the
exact same libs exist here too.

really has nothing to do with discover ... discover doesnt use nor care about
kerberos

some other package that discover needs is itself requiring kerberos

the fact that mit-krb5 fails to install static libs at all is a bug in that
package

Created an attachment (id=104870) [edit]
mit-krb5-no-static-USE-flag.patch

i dont want to download the mit-krb5 tarball but i'm pretty sure this is all
you need

*** Bug 159953 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

patch forcing static compilation too works and make discover compile fine.

please commit to portage.

Fixed thx

This bug still occurs with mit-krb5-1.4.3-r3 & discover-2.0.7.  The kerberos
patch also doesn't apply to the new mit-krb5 ebuild and adding the
"--enable-static" option results in: 

configure: rechecking with PTHREAD_... options
checking for pthread_rwlock_init in -lc... yes
checking for library containing dlopen... -ldl
configure: error: Sorry, static libraries do not work in this release.

!!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.5.2-r2/work/krb5-1.5.2/src/config.log

!!! ERROR: app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.5.2-r2 failed.

i confirm that i still can't build discover.....any news?
