Bug 113920 – glibc should only require timezone for native builds

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nick Pollitt 2005-11-29 10:02:16 UTC]

I used crossdev like this:
crossdev --target powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu

When that was done I sync my portage tree and tried 'emerge -Dup world' and
received the following error message:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies \
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-libs/timezone-data" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-libs/timezone-data-2005n-r1 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- sys-libs/timezone-data-2005o (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.
!!!    (dependency required by "cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/glibc-2.3.5-r3"
[ebuild])


!!! Problem with ebuild cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/glibc-2.3.5-r3
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

So I unmerged the crossdev stuff:
emerge -C =cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/binutils-2.16.1
=cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.4-r1
=cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/glibc-2.3.5-r3
=cross-powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/linux-headers-2.6.11-r3

And when that was done, 'emerge -Dup world' worked fine again.  I haven't tried
to reproduce yet, since crossdev takes a while.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. crossdev --target powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
2. emerge -Dup world (error occurs)
3. emerge -C =(crossdev packages)
4. emerge -Dup world (works)



Expected Results:  
I would expect 'crossdev' to have no effect on normal system maintenance.

glibc-2.3.5-r3 depends on timezone-data, so you need to put it into
package.keywords as well.

So crossdev needs to do that, just like it puts the other stuff into
package.keywords (in the set_keywords function).

this isnt a bug in crossdev, you're mixing stable with unstable KEYWORDS

> this isnt a bug in crossdev, you're mixing stable with unstable KEYWORDS

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" is stable, so it looks like it's crossdev that's choosing
the unstable branch for the specified arch (powerpc).  crossdev should Do The
Right Thing without messing up the host system.

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2005-12-01 00:15:44 UTC]

that's the trouble you have to live with when cross-compiling

crossdev picks the latest versions by default because that's where we add
cross-compile fixes

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2005-12-01 00:16:25 UTC]

fixed in 2.3.6-r1

[Comment 7 SpanKY 2006-01-04 06:37:41 UTC]

*** Bug 117715 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 8 Alan Hourihane 2006-01-04 07:22:28 UTC]

So we have to wait until glibc 2.3.6-r1 is stable on x86 ???

Can't this be fixed for glibc-2.3.5 as well ?
