Bugzilla Bug 231089

On installing sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.26-r1 if you do a ldconfig -p|grep sgutils
you will see that you get the following:-
        libsgutils2.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libsgutils2.so.2
        libsgutils2.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libsgutils2.so
        libsgutils.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libsgutils.so.1

Note the missing "libsgutils.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libsgutils.so" line. 

This only becomes a problem when later trying to emerge
media-libs/libipoddevice-0.5.3 which end up producing a configure error:-

configure: error: Error! You need to have libsgutils.

because libsgutils.so was not found.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.26-r1
2. emerge =media-libs/libipoddevice-0.5.3
3.

Actual Results:  
checking for sg_ll_inquiry in -lsgutils... no                                   
configure: error: Error! You need to have libsgutils.

Expected Results:  
successful emerge.

Temporary work around
(cd /usr/lib64; ln -s libsgutils.so.1.0.0 libsgutils.so) && ldconfig &&
ldconfig -p|grep sgutils

Recommend changing summary to:
media-libs/libipoddevice does not compile against >=sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.26

A clarification: >=sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.26 will not install libsgutils.so* at
all.  The libsgutils.so.1 mentioned in the description is a preserved lib from
<sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.26.  From the sg3_utils changelog, version 1.26:

  - switch primary build to ubuntu environment, rename
    library to libsgutils2 to avoid clash

The library name for sg3_utils has changed to libsgutils2, but applications are
still trying to link against libsgutils.  I recommend patching libipoddevice to
recognize the new library name.

media-libs/libipoddevice patch to recognize libsgutils2

Created an attachment (id=159857) [details]
New media-libs/libipoddevice ebuild with patch

with regards to this bug, will someone please advise wether there be a case for
creating a metabug about the library.

banshee with use=ipod 
ipodsleuth etc are also affected as at this date
the same workaround about symlinks applies here too. 
after that they compile fine

Can someone create a patch/ebuild for podsleuth?
It's failing with the same error, preventing me to install banshee with ipod
support..

currently, jusst mask the newer versionb as a workaround
echo '>=sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.26' >> /etc/portage/package.mask

fixed with sg3_utils-1.27
