Several recent rsyslog ebuilds were not emerges successfully on my ~arch systems. The inspection of the build logs showed the same reason: * sphinx-build -b html source build || die "Building documentation failed!"; "sphinx-build" belongs to "dev-python/sphinx" - after emerging it manually the rsyslog ebuilds succeed. So I assume there is a missing DEPEND=" ... dev-python/sphinx .." in the ebuilds of rsyslog-8.6 an later. My previus installed rsyslog version was 8.4.2, and dev-python/sphinx was never emerged before on my systems.

No, app-admin/rsyslog doesn't depend on dev-python/sphinx: The release version is shipping pre-generated documentation. But you are seeing this error due to a bug in the ebuild: I should have used square brackets in checking for live ebuild... sorry for that. Please apply the following patch: diff --git a/app-admin/rsyslog/rsyslog-8.7.0.ebuild b/app-admin/rsyslog/rsyslog-8.7.0.ebuild index fb0b21b..59903a1 100644 --- a/app-admin/rsyslog/rsyslog-8.7.0.ebuild +++ b/app-admin/rsyslog/rsyslog-8.7.0.ebuild @@ -200,7 +200,7 @@ src_configure() { src_compile() { autotools-utils_src_compile - if use doc -a ${PV} == "9999"; then + if use doc && [[ "${PV}" == "9999" ]]; then einfo "Building documentation ..." local doc_dir="${S}/docs" cd "${doc_dir}" || die "Cannot chdir into \"${doc_dir}\"!" Thx for the report!
Hi, thanks for the explanation. I see you have corrected the ebuild. Now let me give a last remark: the conditional dependency RDEPEND+=" doc? ( >=dev-python/sphinx-1.1.3-r7 )" should be a DEPEND+=" doc? ( >=dev-python/sphinx-1.1.3-r7 )" because sphinx is needed at build time (only).
Created attachment 398522 [details, diff] Fixing sphinx build dependency; version check; Slots; Keywording issue Thanks, good catch! @UltraBug: Please apply the patch. Regarding the keywording issue, thought that this was already fixed with bug 536784 ...
