The test suite by default tries to test berkdb functionality, which obviously doesn't work if it's disabled: lt-rdf_model_test: Testing model cloning lt-rdf_model_test: Creating new hashes storage lt-rdf_model_test: Failed to create new hashes storage name test with options hash-type='bdb',dir='.',write='yes',new='yes',contexts='yes' FAIL: rdf_model_test This probably also applies to 1.0.9, but I can't test due to bug 279178.
Created attachment 199222 [details, diff] redland-1.0.8.ebuild.patch Avoid trying to test berkdb if it's disabled.
Thanks for submitting your patch, which sounds like a good approach. Assigning to maintainers.
Does this mean you don't have sys-libs/db installed at all? Because I can't reproduce this with USE=-berkdb FEATURES=test when it is.
applied to both .8 and .9
