Bug 26857 – licq wants to install kdelibs, kde-env, arts but useflag is set to "-kde -arts"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Sliwak 2003-08-18 06:33:03 UTC]

when emerging licq, emerge wants to install kdelibs, kde-env, arts as
dependencies, however the useflag is set to "-kde -arts"

emerge -pv licq says:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N   ] kde-base/kde-env-3-r2
[ebuild  N   ] kde-base/arts-1.1.2  +alsa +oggvorbis -artswrappersuid
[ebuild  N   ] kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.2-r1  +alsa +cups -ipv6 +ssl
[ebuild   R  ] net-im/licq-1.2.7  +ssl -socks5 +qt -kde +ncurses

in licq-1.2.7.ebuild is says:

inherit kde-base
need-kde 3.0 
[...]
# we can't have conditional dependencies so "use kde && inherit kde-base"
# won't work -- messes up dep caching.
                                                                               
# need-kde and their eclass friends inject things into DEPEND. But we only
# want them enabled if the kde USE flag is set. We get around this in the
# following dep lines:
RDEPEND="kde? ( ${DEPEND} )"
DEPEND="kde? ( ${DEPEND} )
    ssl? ( >=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.6 )
    qt? ( >=x11-libs/qt-3.0.0 )
    ncurses? ( sys-libs/ncurses )" 
[...]

so, the kde dependencies should only be installed, if the useflag is set.
however, every time i do an "emerge -pv licq", i get the output described above.
the kde-useflag has no effect on this ebuild.

OK, I think the line DEPEND="kde? ( ${DEPEND} ) is supposed to read DEPEND="kde? ( ${RDEPEND} ). After that change my output is as expected:


licq > USE="-kde -mad" emerge -vp licq
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] kde-base/kde-env-3-r2
[ebuild  N    ] net-im/licq-1.2.7  +ssl -socks5 -qt -kde +ncurses

------------------------------

licq > USE="kde -mad" emerge -vp licq
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] x11-libs/qt-3.1.2-r4  -cups -nas -postgres +opengl +mysql -odbc +gif -debug
[ebuild  N    ] kde-base/kde-env-3-r2
[ebuild  N    ] kde-base/arts-1.1.3  -alsa -oggvorbis -artswrappersuid -mad
[ebuild  N    ] kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.3-r1  -alsa -cups -ipv6 +ssl
[ebuild  N    ] net-im/licq-1.2.7  +ssl -socks5 -qt +kde +ncurses

licq doesn't require kde at all, does it? 
 
Could we just completely get rid of kde stuff in the ebuild? 

[Comment 3 Ian Leitch (RETIRED) 2003-08-19 17:39:21 UTC]

I think it is a KDE app in some way, as all kde apps depend on kde-env, however it can use different frontends so its not dependant on Qt etc...

[Comment 4 Michael Sliwak 2003-08-23 01:20:37 UTC]

However previous ebuilds didn't require any kde stuff and it worked... so why this one does?

[Comment 5 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-08-26 07:41:42 UTC]

Okay, here's an idea to test: 
 
remove the inherit kde-base and need-kde 3.0 lines from the top of the ebuild 
 
and change the dependency lines to: 
 
RDEPEND="kde ? ( >=kde-base/kdelibs-3.0)" 
DEPEND="kde ? ( >=kde-base/kdelibs-3.0) 
... 
 
and see if that fixes your dependency problem.

this works...
