Description Louis Sautier (sbraz) gentoo-dev

Emerging collectd with collectd_plugins_write_mongodb enabled and dev-libs/mongo-c-driver 0.98.2 makes it fail during configure with the following error:
conftest.c:191:19: fatal error: mongo.h: No such file or directory
It seems that since 0.90.0, the mongodb library changed a lot : https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver/releases/tag/0.90.0
The ebuild should require a version of dev-libs/mongo-c-driver older than 0.90.0, like 0.8.1-r1.

Reproducible: Always

Obviously you mean the exact opposite: fix collectd, and not "depend" on older versions of dependencies to stick around forever.

Well, that would probably the best solution but a bug would have to be opened upstream in that case, wouldn't it?
I don't think Gentoo developers can do much about the issue then.
