Bug 476134 – =app-text/sigil-0.6.2 - Xerces cannot load message domain do to missing icu flag.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Filip Šimek 2013-07-07 22:44:16 UTC]

After install of app-text/sigil-0.6.2, running the command sigil doesn't start the application but prints the following message:

Could not open catalog:
 XercesMessages_en_US.cat
 or XercesMessages_en_US.cat
Cannot load message domain


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =dev-libs/xerces-c-3.1.1-r1
2. emerge =app-text/sigil-0.6.2
3. run sigil
Actual Results:  
The error message:

Could not open catalog:
 XercesMessages_en_US.cat
 or XercesMessages_en_US.cat
Cannot load message domain

Expected Results:  
Sigil starting

The problem is very similar to that of bug 295849, also with the xerces-c package but with a different application. The aforementioned bug was resolved by making the ebuild to depend on xerces-c[icu]. After re-emerging xerces-c with the icu USE flag, the problem was resolved and Sigil started normally.

I suppose that the sigil-0.6.2 ebuild should also depend on xerces-c[icu] instead of just xerces-c.
