Bug 261118 – app-shells/bash-3.2_p48-r1 USE="nls" doesn't DEPEND on gettext

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Armando Di Cianno 2009-03-03 22:57:07 UTC]

I have a fast machine I use to compile, and do (proper) binary installs on my slower mac.  I was upgrading world to include USE="nls", as there was a related grep issue (bug #260153), of which the easiest solution was to add nls to world.

Anyways, because bash doesn't DEPEND on gettext, once the binary bash package was installed, I couldn't emerge anymore; I had to manually untar the file into the tree, and then emerge gettext over it.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a machine you only do binary installs on.
2. emerge bash (where USE="nls" used to be USE="-nls)
3. Note that gettext doesn't get drawn in as a dependency

@base-system: seems to me DEPEND should have "nls? ( virtual/libintl )", what's your stance on this?

i dont see any info for why this change is needed

% scanmacho -n /Library/Gentoo/bin/bash
ARCH   TYPE   NEEDED FILE 
ppc MH_EXECUTE /Library/Gentoo/lib/libncurses.5.dylib,/Library/Gentoo/usr/lib/libintl.8.dylib,/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib /Library/Gentoo/bin/bash 
% qlist -Iv bash
app-shells/bash-3.2_p48-r1

It uses libintl.8.dylib (due to +nls), yet the dependencies in the ebuild don't say so.  (This is only a problem on non-glibc platforms, of course.)

that clearly shows why the proposed change is needed.  the summary / previous comments did not in any way.

feel free to make the proposed DEPEND change to the bash ebuilds.
