Bug 414827 – media-sound/mpd should depend on media-libs/alsa-lib

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description nzqr 2012-05-06 06:11:11 UTC]

media-sound/mpd-0.16.8 RDEPENDs on media-sound/alsa-utils, but grep-ing doesn't show any usage of alsa utils in it's sources. But it links with libasound:
$ readelf -d `which mpd` |grep libasound
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libasound.so.2]

so it rather should RDEPEND on media-libs/alsa-lib.

Reproducible: Always

+  27 May 2012; Christoph Mende <[e-mail]> mpd-0.16.8.ebuild:
+  Depend on media-libs/alsa-lib (bug #414827)

[Comment 3 nzqr 2012-05-27 15:45:22 UTC]

Ok, but depend on media-sound/alsa-utils is unnecessary.

[Comment 4 Markos Chandras (RETIRED) 2012-05-31 08:58:50 UTC]

Please do not reopen and rename old bugs. Open a new one

[Comment 5 nzqr 2012-05-31 10:22:32 UTC]

Why? Someone already renamed it in wrong way; i posted as:
>media-sound/mpd-0.16.8: suspect RDEPENDs
they renamed to
>media-sound/mpd should depend on media-libs/alsa-lib
that messed up things.

The init script makes use of alsa-utils.

                                  ^^^^ right here

And please don't tell me "that's just a use". I will not remove the dependency. If you really can't live a package that's ~2 MB on disk, put it in package.provided.
