Emerging ntfs3g without having sys-apps/attr installed results in a build failure: secaudit.c:262:24: error: attr/xattr.h: No such file or directory "attr/xattr.h" is provided by sys-apps/attr. This package seems to be required at build time and is not optional. Most systems have it installed and I suppose that's why this dependency problem wasn't detected till now, but on one of my systems it is not (no other package pulled it in as a dep.) Note that it seems to be a build-time dep only; emerging ntfs3g and then uninstalling attr doesn't break ntfs3g in any way I can see, including the "streams_interface=xattr" mount option. Furthermore, ntfs3g does not respect the acl USE flag; the ebuild patch I'm attaching also fixes this problem. This shouldn't need a rev-bump (I think) since it's a build-time fix and USE flag change only.
Created attachment 210493 [details, diff] ebuild patch for ntfs3g-2009.11.14.ebuild
This is reproducible only with sys-fs/ntfs3g-2009.11.14. I currently have sys-fs/ntfs3g-2009.4.4-r1, which was installed earlier without any problems. sys-apps/attr is not installed in my system.
(In reply to comment #2) > This is reproducible only with sys-fs/ntfs3g-2009.11.14. And I was under the impression that I actually tested it, twice, with 2009.4.4 and confirmed that it also needed attr. But now it doesn't which probably means I'm stupid :P Only 2009.11.14 needs the dep.
Added a dep for sys-apps/attr and an acl USE flag to sys-fs/ntfs3g-2009.11.14.
This seems to be a bug *only* of ntfs3g-2009.11.14: The newest version sys-fs/ntfs3g-2010.1.16 doesn't need sys-apps/attr either, although it is listed in the ebuild as a dependency.
