Bug 191700 – Rhythmbox compiled with "ipod" USE flag requires libgpod but does not list it as a dependency.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nick Bair 2007-09-08 13:45:12 UTC]

With "ipod" in my USE flags, I entered:
emerge -av rhythmbox
No dependencies were listed by portage. But while rhythmbox was compiling I got an error to the effect of "ipod explicitly requested but libgpod not found." Emerging libgpod (which included eyeD3 as a dependency) and then, once finished, emerging rhythmbox worked without any trouble. I think libgpod should be listed in portage as a dependency of rhythmbox based on the status of the "ipod" USE flag.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable "ipod" Use flag
2. Emerge rhythmbox

Do you have USE=hal enabled? I believe this is why it is not picking up the dependency. I am uploading a patch to update the ebuild to throw a warning if you try to emerge with USE=ipod without USE=hal.

I do not have USE=hal enabled. That must have been the problem. Thanks!
