Bugzilla Bug 187369

Hello,

I wanted to add hal support to KDE so I recompiled kdebase-kioslaves with hal
in USE. After a restart I had hald up and running but KDE didn't use it.

I recompiled kdebase-kioslaves and found this:

checking for linux/cdrom.h... yes
checking for the HAL... headers -I/usr/include/hal  libraries -L/usr/lib -lhal
-lhal-storage
checking for DBus... headers -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0
-I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include libraries -L/usr/lib -ldbus-1
checking for DBus-Qt3 bindings... searched but not found
checking if the HAL backend for media:/ should be compiled... no
checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no

After emerging dbus-qt3-old the output changed:

checking for linux/cdrom.h... yes
checking for the HAL... headers -I/usr/include/hal  libraries -L/usr/lib -lhal
-lhal-storage
checking for DBus... headers -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0
-I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include libraries -L/usr/lib -ldbus-1
checking for DBus-Qt3 bindings... headers /usr/include/dbus-1.0 libraries
/usr/lib
checking if the HAL backend for media:/ should be compiled... yes
checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no

Any idea what changed? I was a little stunned because I enabled Hal on other
boxes before without issues.

It seems this test in the ebuild is wrong:

hal? ( || ( dev-libs/dbus-qt3-old >=sys-apps/dbus-0.34 )
           =sys-apps/hal-0.5* )

because apparently the kioslaves still need dbus-qt3-old with
sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2-r2 (currently installed).

Any thoughts?

Regards
Sebastian

Because this commit is totally broken:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves/kdebase-kioslaves-3.5.7.ebuild?r1=1.2&r2=1.3

Should be 
hal? ( dev-libs/dbus-qt3-old =sys-apps/hal-0.5* )

@mr_bones_: you've broken about every dbus dependency in the tree that you have
touched recently, please fix. Now none of the ebuilds will pull in the correct
bindings if people already have sys-apps/dbus installed, which is heavily
broken behaviour.

|| ( dev-libs/dbus-qt3-old ( <sys-apps/dbus-0.90 >=sys-apps/dbus-0.34 ) )

does NOT transform into

|| ( dev-libs/dbus-qt3-old >=sys-apps/dbus-0.34 )

but into plain and simple 

dev-libs/dbus-qt3-old 

Those are bindings split from the old monolithic <sys-apps/dbus-0.90, so the
purpose of the original deps was to pull in *either* the split bindings, *or*
the monolithic dbus. Ditto for dev-libs/dbus-glib, dev-python/dbus-python.

This is not a KDE bug, please re-read the comments above.

they can fix it.

OK, let's summarize it. You broke:

including lots of ebuilds in stable tree and all you have to say is "they can
fix it"?! Well, all I have to say to this is - WTF?! 

Just wanna make sure I'm sane here...

stable ebuilds that were working fine, they just had stale depends which didn't
cause any error or problem.. were updated by Mr. Bones to incorrect depends,
which now results in massive tree breakage for ~arch and stable and he expects
us to fix his bad commits?

x11-libs/libnotify
x11-misc/notification-daemon

Fixed these so Xfce is safe.

just to be sure I won't break anything by attempting to fix this :
 - shall we just revert the change
or
 - shall we simply remove references to old/deprecated/not even in tree anymore
dbus version.

I'd vote for first option just for the sake of old installs, live/install cds.

(In reply to comment #9)
> I'd vote for first option just for the sake of old installs, live/install cds.

I'd go with the second.. What do you mean by that? If you upgrade tree from one
of those old installs, and install something -- you get new dbus while
installing like you should.

I vote for the second choice as well. I "accidentally" fixed gnome-applets in
the gnome-experimental overlay. Doug confirmed there's no need to depend on
that old cruft anymore.

I'll go over the whole list again and make sure it's corrected.

Should be all fixed.

Thanks for the bug report.
