Bug 403971 – net-misc/dropbox-1.2.51 - missing net-libs/librsync dependency

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Cook 2012-02-15 23:07:45 UTC]

Since the newest ebuild removes some bundled dependencies, it does not make sure that they are provided. In my case, net-libs/librsync was not installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install net-misc/dropbox-1.2.51 while not having librsync installed
2. Start dropbox
3.
Actual Results:  
Crashes complaining that librsync.so.1 can't be found

Expected Results:  
dropbox starts

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "__main__dropbox__.py", line 77, in <module>
  File "core/databases.py", line 48, in <module>
  File "core/file_cache.py", line 70, in <module>
  File "core/memory_caches.py", line 50, in <module>
  File "core/sync_engine_util.py", line 2, in <module>
  File "common_util/librsync.py", line 7, in <module>
ImportError: librsync.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Oh, do I see a new maintainer for net-libs/librsync? ;-)

Bug happens for me on ~amd64.

net-misc/rsync dependency should be replaced by net-misc/librsync

Confirmed here :)
