101841 2005-08-09 04:31 0000 emerge GIMP with scanner USE flag: xscanimage not working in GIMP 2005-09-16 06:28:57 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Applications unspecified x86 Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 105192 1 pablored@gmx.net gnome@gentoo.org pablored@gmx.net 2005-08-09 04:31:11 0000 Having the scanner USE flag pulls in the xsane package before the GIMP. However, the xsane configure needs to see some GIMP files inorder to build the xscanimage executable with GIMP support. The correct link is present in the plug-in directory and xscanimage is listed as loaded in the GIMP loading screen, but the ..acquire option is missing in the menu. I guess this is only a problem in fresh installs or those with no previous version of the GIMP. The quick solution is just to emerge xsane a second time, but it could be good to sort something out in the ebuild. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.An install without a previous copy of the GIMP, USE flag contains scanner 2.emerge gimp 3.check acquire menu option Actual Results: Scanner options are missing in the GIMP Expected Results: On my system two XSANE options should be listed http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-350263-highlight-xscanimage.html My first Bug listing, hope it is okay. pablored allanonjl@gentoo.org 2005-08-09 06:11:25 0000 Thanks for reporting this. This will be sorted out soon, I see why this happens. This bug is somewhat related: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93018 jason@cougarcorp.net 2005-09-07 15:31:45 0000 This sounds related to the problem I just had. New system with USE="scanner gimp", did an emerge gimp, media-gfx/xsane-0.97, a prerequisite of Gimp when using USE=scanner, fails to install. I'm guessing because xsane uses USE=gimp, setting up a circular dependency on fresh installs. My quick and dirty workaround (scanner and gimp are in make.conf USE flags): USE=-scanner emerge gimp;emerge gimp allanonjl@gentoo.org 2005-09-16 06:28:57 0000 fixed in CVS.
