Bug 109011 – revdep-rebuild depends on qpkg, which is no longer part of gentoolkit

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Randall Nortman 2005-10-12 07:56:56 UTC]

revdep-rebuild requires qpkg.   qpkg is deprecated and was recently removed from
gentoolkit.  So revdep-rebuild doesn't work anymore.  Ooops.


Reproducible: Always

Would you tell us where did you find out that it depends on qpkg? 

'grep qpkg /usr/bin/revdep-rebuild' returns exactly zero results... 

[Comment 2 Randall Nortman 2005-10-12 08:11:49 UTC]

Sorry, I should have been more detailed in my report.  Looks like a
revdep-rebuild version issue, because here's what happens on my system:

-----
% grep -i qpkg /usr/bin/revdep-rebuild
# requires: qpkg
                        PKG="$(qpkg -nc -f "$FILE")"
-----

I'd like to also paste the errors I got when I ran revdep-rebuild, but
unfortunately, I can't get revdep-rebuild to spit out the errors anymore, since
I already fixed the broken library dependancies on my system and revdep-rebuild
only tries to invoke qpkg if there are broken dependancies.

My version of gentoolkit is 0.2.0-r1, which is the most recent thing marked
stable.  The previous revision (0.2.0) works fine, since it includes qpkg. 
Perhaps the newer gentoolkit packages (still marked testing) have a newer
revdep-rebuild, which would fix the issue.

Apparently a bad idea to remove it.

I'll have this fixed shortly

[Comment 5 Paul Varner (RETIRED) 2005-10-12 09:56:54 UTC]

Fixed with gentoolkit-0.2.0-r2

I believe that does it.  Thanks.

Closing. Issue is fixed.
