Bug 379439 – dev-libs/boost-1.46.1 automagic dependency on dev-libs/icu : does not respect USE="-icu"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Fab 2011-08-16 16:43:54 UTC]

On my system dev-libs/boost-1.46.1 is built with USE="-icu" , but is linked anyway against dev-libs/icu.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -1 dev-libs/icu
2. USE="-icu" emerge -1 dev-libs/boost
3. ldd /usr/lib/libboost_graph-1_46.so.1.46.1 | grep icu
	libicuuc.so.48 => /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.48 (0xb7524000)
	libicui18n.so.48 => /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.48 (0xb733c000)
	libicudata.so.48 => /usr/lib/libicudata.so.48 (0xb61e2000)

Forgot to say that obviously others boost libs are also affected :

$ for x in /usr/lib/boost-1_46/*.so; do output=$(ldd $x | grep icu); if [ -n "$output" ]; then echo -e "\n---"; echo $x; echo "---"; echo -e "$output"; fi; done

Created attachment 284651 [details, diff]
patch to apply to boost-1.46.1.ebuild

This patch seems to fixs the issue. See [1].

This is now fixed. Thank you
