Bugzilla Bug 41019

When I try to emerge world :), I get this error

>>> emerge (57 of 148) app-text/gnome-spell-1.0.5 to /

...

>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking gnome-spell-1.0.5.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/gnome-spell-1.0.5/work

...

at the end:

./configure: line 1: aspell: command not found
checking for new_aspell_config in -laspell... no
configure: error: gnome-spell cannot be built without aspell library
 
!!! ERROR: app-text/gnome-spell-1.0.5 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 365, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

I think there is a little problem in dependencie calculation.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Not tested but...

Actual Results:  
the "emerge world" has stop.
i have done "emerge aspell"
then "emerge world" one again and no more problem :)

portage devs, do you guys have any clue how this could happen. The deps always
seem correct in all of these reports, it has todo something with the virtuals ?

Another problem in this category : http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34991

@portage devs : another request to have a look at this issue. The deps are
correct in all these cases.

*** Bug 45707 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I think Bug 30946 might be the same case.  It seemed to only break for new
installs.  foser pointed this out to me.  Should I mark mine as a duplicate?

I'm not a dev but I had a similar problem and decided to investigate (the one
in bug 30946). Gnome-spell or gtkspell requires enchant (I had 1.1.3
installed). In the enchant ebuild I saw that to build and run enchant you need
aspell OR ispell OR hspell (|| ( virtual/aspell-dict app-text/ispell
app-text/hspell )). But gtkspell an I assume gnome-spell wants aspell not
ispell that satisfied enchant for me. So this is the problem in my case.

right, that is a mistake that could explain some of these reports. We didn't
run autoconf for gtkspell, so the configure.in fixed didn't get propagated.
I'll fix this now.

But this is not the case with gnome-spell (the initial bugreport is on a
version that doesn't use enchant).
