notmuch with USE=mutt is missing dependency to dev-perl/Devel-GlobalDestruction

This seems to solve bug #483068. Thank you!

[Comment 2 Amadeusz Żołnowski (RETIRED) 2013-10-17 09:23:18 UTC]

But I've got a question. I don't see anything suggesting Devel-GlobalDestruction in notmuch-mutt script. How could I know the script directly requires it? Note that it runs with dev-perl/Mail-Box prior to 2.108.

[Comment 3 Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) 2013-10-20 10:22:15 UTC]

No. notmuch should depend on Mail-Box, which it already does ( USE=mutt required )

And Mail-Box should depend on Devel-GlobalDestruction ... but it does.

please report: 

  equery list  dev-perl/Mail-Box
  equery list  dev-perl/Devel-GlobalDestruction
  equery files dev-perl/Devel-GlobalDestruction

Note: Devel-GlobalDestruction dependency was added in Mail-Box-2.108, so downgrading to 2.107 gives you a version of Mail-Box-2.107 gives you a Mail-Box that doesn't need Devel-GloblDestruction.

It would seem the error is that Mail-Box-2.108 and 2.109 foolishly only add Devel-GlobalDestruction under USE=test, where it should be a dependency even without USE=test 

https://metacpan.org/source/MARKOV/Mail-Box-2.108/META.json 

Clearly states Devel::GlobalDestruction is a runtime dependency, and nothing in Makefile.PL states it is a testing dependency, so I guess the committer dropped the ball when communicating dependencies.

Patrick, see comment #4.

I've committed it myself, eventually. Kent, thanks for explanation!
