35918 2003-12-15 22:20 0000 emerge zope fails because zope-config wasn't present 2003-12-22 09:11:03 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Ebuilds 1.4 All All RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 davidgrant@gmail.com dev-portage@gentoo.org net-zope@gentoo.org davidgrant@gmail.com 2003-12-15 22:20:21 0000 I didn't have zope or zope-config installed. zope needs zope-config because it runs zope-config at the end of the ebuild. But if you try to emerge zope-config, it wants to emerge zope first, thus causing the execution of /usr/sbin/zope-config to fail when emerging zope: /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 144: /usr/sbin/zope-config: No such file or directory The only way I can think of fixing this is to make zope-config NOT depend on zope? davidgrant@gmail.com 2003-12-15 22:20:59 0000 re-assign to net-zope@gentoo.org lanius@gentoo.org 2003-12-16 06:16:30 0000 this has always been working this way, what zope version did you try to install? davidgrant@gmail.com 2003-12-16 10:15:10 0000 Let me clarify what I did. I did emerge -vp zope-config and portage wanted to merge zope first, and then zope-config. I then did "emerge zope-config". The zope install didn't work 100% because zope-config is missing. I think this is what we need: zope should have a DEPEND on zope-config zope-config should have an RDEPEND on zope, but no DEPEND on zope lanius@gentoo.org 2003-12-16 12:09:00 0000 what zope version did you try to install? davidgrant@gmail.com 2003-12-16 12:32:15 0000 the stable one, 2.6.1 lanius@gentoo.org 2003-12-22 08:03:53 0000 > zope should have a DEPEND on zope-config > zope-config should have an RDEPEND on zope, but no DEPEND on zope this is the current situation I think it is a portage bug since it handles DEPEND and RDEPEND the same way genone@gentoo.org 2003-12-22 08:18:36 0000 how would you expect them to be handled ? lanius@gentoo.org 2003-12-22 08:37:01 0000 zope-config should be emerged first since there is a DEPEND on it in zope, then zope should be merged since there is a RDEPEND on it in zope-config genone@gentoo.org 2003-12-22 09:01:36 0000 can't you use PDEPEND in zope-config as a workaround ? DEPEND and RDEPEND have the same priority, the only difference is that DEPEND is ignored for .tbz2 packages. Not rejecting this request, but it could be problematic to implement. lanius@gentoo.org 2003-12-22 09:11:03 0000 I think PDEPEND is exactly what we need here, fixed in zope-config.
