For someone needing only Chinese input emerging SCIM with the optional SCIM-CHINESE is sufficient, one does not need all the few tens of input methods that m17n provides. Therefore, the packages m17n-db, m17n-lib, scim-m17n should be optional addins to scim, so is the package scim-chinese, and should not be emerged be default when one emerges scim. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge scim usata@gentoo.org 2004-08-23 03:52:41 0000 Fixed in CVS. scim-chinese and scim-hangul are now considered as one of scim modules.(scim modules were indeed optional but scim-chinese was not added as an option. If you wanted to use scim-uim you didn't have to install scim-m17n) Thanks for reporting. polar88bear@hotmail.com 2004-08-23 19:12:13 0000 The problem is NOT resolved. Just did a emerge sync this morning and the listing of emerge -puD world below is self-explanatory. It is definitely a portage dependency issue. # emerge -puD world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

(It is nominated at the highest priority, but if you have scim-chinese it shouldn't be going to merge) Can you post the output of `emerge --debug -puD` as an attachment? usata@gentoo.org 2004-08-24 06:23:20 0000 Also, `emerge --tree -puD world` would be helpful. polar88bear@hotmail.com 2004-08-24 06:40:35 0000 When I posted the emerge -puD world output this morning, I was having scim-chinese-0.4.1 in my system. Now that I have upgraded it to scim-chinese-0.4.2, emerge -puD no long pull in scim-m17n etc. I had a look at "scim-0.99.8.ebuild", it defined, ..... PDEPEND="|| ( >=app-i18n/scim-m17n-0.1.2 >=app-i18n/scim-uim-0.1.3 >=app-i18n/scim-chinese-0.4.2 <--- this is the problem >=app-i18n/scim-hangul-0.1.1 >=app-i18n/scim-tables-0.4.0 )" ELTCONF="--reverse-deps" ..... As you can see the problem is resolved for someone already having scim-chinese-0.4.2 emerged and not someone having any earlier version. usata@gentoo.org 2004-08-24 07:10:28 0000 Ah! Got it. If scim-chinese-0.4.2 is not found on one's system portage doesn't upgrade older version but install fresh scim-m17n. This is tricky but not that I don't understand. I removed of version numbers from scim's PDEPEND. (The correct dependency will be calculated from each ebuild anyway.) Thanks for digging up the dependency ;)
