Bug 212436 – dev-lisp/clisp-2.43 shouldn't require libsigsegv if gnu-smalltalk-3.0.x is installed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roby 2008-03-05 23:00:01 UTC]

Previously, clisp and gnu-smalltalk-2.x requires libsigsegv. But since version 3.x, gnu-smalltalk supplies its own libsigsegv. Therefore, the maintainer of gnu-smalltalk-3.x rightfully blocks libsigsegv. Unfortunately, for those who also have clisp installed no longer can upgrade clisp because of libsigsegv.

But so far the existing clisp-2.43 runs happily with libsigsegv supplied by gnu-smalltalk. So, I hope clisp can relax its dependency requirement.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge gnu-smalltalk-2.3.x
2. Emerge clisp 2.43
3. Upgrade gnu-smalltalk to v3.0.1 (requires unemerging libsigsegv)
4. Try to upgrade clisp 2.43-r1

Actual Results:  
clisp cannot be upgraded because libsigsegv is blocked by gnu-smalltalk-3.x.

Expected Results:  
clisp should be upgraded if gnu-smalltalk-3.x is present instead of libsigsegv

Errr... WTH does gnu-smalltalk install its own libsigsegv instead of using the one we already have???

Ok, this bug is fixed on latest revision for gnu-smalltalk-3.0.1.

Now gnu-smalltalk depends upon the libsigsegv package version on portage. 

Please test.

Thanks for reporting.

It seems it's fixed now. Thanks.
