Bug 154931 – net-news/liferea bad dependencies on seamonkey

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2006-11-12 13:35:04 UTC]

liferea-1.1.9-r1.ebuild has these deps:

	|| (
		firefox? ( www-client/mozilla-firefox )
		seamonkey? ( www-client/seamonkey )
		=gnome-extra/gtkhtml-2*
	)

I do not have seamonkey installed. As I do have gtkhtml installed, the dep clause is satisfied. However I get a failure:

# USE="-firefox seamonkey" emerge liferea

checking dependency style of i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++... (cached) gcc3
checking for MOZILLA... no
seamonkey: no
configure: error:
*** You must have either the GtkHTML2, XulRunner or the Mozilla
*** development libraries installed in order to build Liferea!

Workaround: explicitly install seamonkey first

Created attachment 101780 [details, diff]
modified DEPEND for liferea-1.1.9-r1

[Comment 2 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2006-11-12 14:03:16 UTC]

patch is bad ... don't use it just yet

[Comment 3 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2006-11-12 14:05:55 UTC]

Created attachment 101782 [details, diff]
fixed DEPEND for liferea-1.1.9-r1

This one works.

[Comment 4 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2006-11-13 08:02:22 UTC]

How can changing the depends in the ebuild possibly affect the configure script at all?  If you have gtkhtml, it should build, and you said you had gtkthml.

I'm extremely suspicious of this...

[Comment 5 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2006-11-13 09:52:26 UTC]

The point is that I did USE=seamonkey but seamonkey wasn't pulled in as a dep

[Comment 6 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2006-11-13 10:07:42 UTC]

Ah, I see, I misunderstood.  I'll look into it.

[Comment 7 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2006-11-13 10:19:38 UTC]

Fixed.

[Comment 8 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2006-11-17 07:51:46 UTC]

confirmed

Thanks!
