When disabling the ipv6 flag in app-admin/conky-1.4.5, the configure script breaks on missing glib. Upon investigation, the ebuild sets dependency on >=glib-2.0 in that case, but the emerge doesn't resolve it: USE="-ipv6" emerge -pv conky These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] app-admin/conky-1.4.5 USE="hddtemp truetype -X -audacious (-bmpx) -ipv6 -mpd -vim-syntax" 0 kB And I do not have glib installed: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] dev-libs/glib-2.12.7 USE="-debug -doc -hardened" 2,833 kB Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. unmerge glib if it was emerged before 2. disable ipv6 flag 3. emerge conky Actual Results: checking for GLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0) were not met: No package 'glib-2.0' found Expected Results: Successful emerge (well sort of, the fix from bug:166500 is not in the portage yet) Filed as minor, since there's an easy fix (emerge glib manually).
Because you have USE="-X" set; reopen with some compile errors.
I am not sure what you mean. I don't have X and you are not supposed to need X to compile conky either. When I enable ipv6 the ebuild says that some port-feature will be disabled. Since I don't need ipv5 and might want that feature, I compile without ipv6 and then it breaks on missing glib. Since it doesn't even get to compilation, there is no way for me to provide compile errors either. If this is a "feature" then please explain cause I don't get it.
(In reply to comment #2) > I am not sure what you mean. I don't have X and you are not supposed to need X > to compile conky either. I mean that there's no unresolved dependency; the ebuild *only* depends on glib if you have USE="X -ipv6" set.
Then that is a bug, since the configure script clearly checks for glib with USE="-X -ipv6" (see original description). It seems that the glib dependency should exists even with "-X".
