[Comment 1 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2005-09-18 16:26:17 UTC]

i think theres a missing dependency... can you please emerge pyxml and try again ?

[Comment 2 Daniel Link 2005-09-18 22:08:59 UTC]

Still the same.

[Comment 3 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2005-09-19 02:42:47 UTC]

Ok so the problem is that you don't have 4suite. Please try again with this:
emerge 4suite

[Comment 4 Daniel Link 2005-09-19 03:24:27 UTC]

Nope, apparently it isn't.

But I couldn't install the stable version 1.0_alpha3 of 4suite, because there
were (guess what) errors. They were about illegal int conversions, as if
something about int conversions has changed from Python 2.3 to 2.4. Had to
install 1.0_beta1 (~x86). Is this worth a report?

[Comment 5 pjm 2005-09-19 08:14:21 UTC]

I just emerged dev-python/pyxml-0.8.4 which is still masked as ~x86.
Fixed it for me.

[Comment 6 Daniel Link 2005-09-19 08:38:17 UTC]

Created attachment 68810 [details]
Fixed dependencies

I can confirm that. Added 4suite and pyxml-0.8.4 as dependencies.

[Comment 7 Daniel Link 2005-09-19 08:39:47 UTC]

Works with >=pyxml-0.8.4

[Comment 8 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2005-09-19 10:42:59 UTC]

Please don't close the bugs until i fix the problem.

I don't think 4suite is really needed because i'm not using it atm. But i missed
pyxml and it's fixed in portage.

About 4suite i will talk to the upstream and add it if it's really needed.
Thanks for the report.

[Comment 10 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2005-10-01 10:36:56 UTC]

4suite isn't necessary because xpath module is available on pyxml too. I've
talked to the upstream author about this.
