Description Giacomo Perale 2007-12-15 21:54:18 UTC 
The recently bumped ebuild for net-analyzer/nmap-4.50 has a forced dep to dev-python/pysqlite, however pysqlite is needed only with python 2.4; python 2.5 in fact includes the sqlite support (see: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q4/0321.html).

The ebuild should be fixed to require pysqlite only if there's python 2.4 installed; with python 2.5, it should check that python was compiled with the 'sqlite' flag enabled and fail otherwise.

Fixed in CVS.  Thanks for this helpful suggestion.
Comment 2 Reinhard Biegel 2008-06-19 19:29:06 UTC 
I have compiled python 2.5.2-r4 without sqlite useflag. emerge of nmap-4.65 gives me:

 * In order to use the nmap GUI you have to either emerge dev-lang/python
 * with the 'sqlite' USE flag, or install dev-python/pysqlite-2*

So why not pull in pysqlite as a dependency if sqlite useflag is missing for python?
