Created attachment 110718 [details, diff] xfsdump-2.2.42.ebuild.patch This patch add gettext as dependency when USE=nls. It also fixes it to build on uclibc which is currently broken.
Hi, any progress on this bug? // ??? assigned to "base-system" ??? I've just bumped into the same problem (on a USE="-nls" system) and I was about to file exactly the same bug report and almost the same fix. // The proposed patch/ebuild is missing "nls? ( sys-devel/gettext )" // in DEPEND/RDEPEND, i. e. doing the same as in "xfsprogs" // works for me. Could someone please commit a/the fix into "-r1" in CVS? Cheers, Axel
fixed in cvs
