Description ChrisA 2004-10-11 07:15:59 UTC

I'm using binary packages on a group af Gentoo-machines.
On the buildhost, 'dev-util/pkgconfig' gets installed when I:

emerge -bav gnumeric

But when I run:

emerge -gK gnumeric

on the clients, I get:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) app-office/gnumeric-1.2.12 to /
>>> extracting info
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 46: pkg-config: command not found
 * libgsf needs to be compiled with gnome in USE
 * for this version of gnumeric to work. Rebuild
 * libgsf first like this :
 * USE=gnome emerge libgsf -vp

!!! ERROR: gnumeric-1.2.12/gnumeric-1.2.12 failed.
!!! Function pkg_setup, Line 52, Exitcode 0
!!! libgsf was built without gnome support...

!!! Error running pkg_setup



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. On the buildhost, 'emerge -b gnumeric'
2. On the client, remove dev-util/pkgconfig (if installede): emerge -C dev-util/pkgconfig
3. On the client, try to install gnumeric: emerge -gK gnumeric




A simple workaround:

emerge -gK dev-util/pkgconfig
emerge -gK app-office/gnumeric

As it's only the ebuild that needs pkgconfig, should portage, that RDEPEND on it?
