for example media-gfx/imagemagick depends on app-text/dgs. yet when you do 'qpkg -q dgs' after emerging imagemagick, qpkg does not bring up imagemagick as it should. another example would be swig which is a dependency for subversion. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
We're moving qpkg to use portage. That way, we'll get all deps calculated correctly.
well it's currently messed up: mightymax src # qpkg -q dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5 dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5 * DEPENDED ON BY: file-roller-2.4.2 gnumeric-1.2.2 mrproject-0.10 planner-0.11 dgs-0.5.10-r1 enchant-1.1.2 atk-1.2.4 atk-1.4.1 libIDL-0.8.2 libole2-0.2.4-r1 gnome-python-2.0.0 pygtk-2.0.0 atomix-0.9.4 ORBit-0.5.17 ORBit2-2.8.3 eel-2.4.1 gconf-1.0.8-r5 gconf-2.4.0.1 gnome-2.4.1_p1 gnome-common-1.2.4-r3 gnome-vfs-2.4.1 libbonobo-2.4.2 libglade-2.0.1 libgnome-2.4.0 libgnomeprint-2.4.2 libgtop-2.0.8 librsvg-2.4.0 nautilus-2.4.1-r2 bonobo-conf-0.16 bug-buddy-2.4.1 gnome-media-2.4.1.1 libgsf-1.8.2 yelp-2.4.2 arts-1.1.4 gimp-1.3.23 gthumb-2.2.0 gstreamer-0.6.4 openquicktime-1.0-r1 jack-audio-connection-kit-0.34.0-r2 totem-0.99.8-r2 gftp-2.0.16-r1 gaim-0.74-r1 xchat-2.0.6-r1 xchat-systray-2.3.1 libsoup-1.99.26-r1 linc-1.0.3 giftcurs-0.6.1 gnome-cups-manager-0.17 libgnomecups-0.1.6 galeon-1.3.11a gtk+-1.2.10-r10 gtk+-2.2.4-r1 libzvt-2.0.1-r2 pango-1.2.3 pango-1.2.5-r1 vte-0.11.10 shared-mime-info-0.12 xscreensaver-4.14-r1 From looking at the ebuilds I can tell you that most of those do not depend on glib-1.2 but glib-2+. Is that (depending on a specific version) a different bug than this (missing out dependencies) though?
same here. it seems qpkg -q doesn't take slots in account.
Yep, that "feature" is broken by design. Also qpkg is deprecated.
What is the new tool to check dependencies if qpkg is deprecated? I don't know of a substitute for 'qpkg -q'.
