Bug 19038 – ghostscript-7.05.6-r1 wants to build X with -X in USE flags

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul Slinski 2003-04-09 11:04:43 UTC]

I'm trying to update ghostscript (used with Cups) on a server. Since this is a
server, I prefer not to have X installed on it but the ebuild wants to install it.

Here is the output of emerge -info

It shows '-X' So why is it wanting X windows?

USE="-X -gnome -gtk -kde -avi -doc -dga -gif -sdl -qt -tcl -tk -tcltk" emerge -epv ghostscript

this flags solves it.
try -qt -truetype

[Comment 2 Paul Slinski 2003-04-09 16:22:35 UTC]

No, niether of those cut it here.

Why is this line included?
[snip]
cups? ( || ( gimp-print gimp-print-cups ) )"
[snip]

For non X systems, this will cause grief. Removing this line builds the package without the X hassle or USE flag tango.

I would recommend removing this line or making a modification to the logic.

[Comment 3 Fabio Fracassi 2003-04-10 06:46:26 UTC]

I think the problem is even wider: the same thing happens with gnome, I have -gnome 
in my USE flags, and still it wants to install gnome gimp and gimp-print. I have 
gimp-print-cups installed and like to keep it that way (ie. without gnome etc) 
 
I think this bug is related to Bug#18731 
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18731) 
 
 

[Comment 4 Paul Slinski 2003-04-11 09:26:20 UTC]

Now, 2 days later, I 'emerge sync' and get the old ghostscript ebuild that I had previously modified.

Without changing the ebuild again, I run 'emerge -pu world' and get a complete mess.

I'm not complaining, this is just an update. After removing the offending line again in the ebuild the X build dissapears.

[Comment 5 Fabio Fracassi 2003-04-15 02:27:44 UTC]

Created attachment 10666 [details, diff]
Small patch which fixes the dependecies.

I think this schould fix the dependancys so that it respects USE="-gnome"
I don't know if it fixes the USE="-X" issue, too.

[Comment 6 Paul Slinski 2003-04-28 11:29:17 UTC]

That fixes all. Will this be incorporated?

[Comment 7 Fabio Fracassi 2003-05-13 05:29:15 UTC]

Perhaps this should be reassigend to [e-mail]  
and connected to Bug #19937 since it is very simmilar.
