Bug 232975 – nmap-4.68 requires pysqlite

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Piotr 2008-07-26 01:10:36 UTC]

nmap-4.68 to compile requires pysqlite but ebuild does not depend on it. User must compile pysqlite on his own.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="gtk ssl" emerge -v nmap
Actual Results:  
Error about missing pysqlite.

Please post 'emerge -pv python' to show what version and USE flags you've got, because you're not supposed to need pysqlite if you have python >= 2.5 compiled with sqlite USE flag enabled

Then this is the answer. I have python-2.5.2-r5 but no sqlite use flag. Im recompiling it right now.
But shouldn't then nmap check with what flags python has been built? Or at least some note about this?
Thanks for fast reply. :)

Actually, the nmap ebuild is supposed to stop until you install pysqlite or rebuild python with sqlite USE...

pkg_setup() {
    if use gtk && has_version ">=dev-lang/python-2.5" &&
       ! has_version ">=dev-python/pysqlite-2" &&
       ! built_with_use dev-lang/python sqlite ; then
        eerror "In order to use the nmap GUI you have to either emerge dev-lang/python"
        eerror "with the 'sqlite' USE flag, or install dev-python/pysqlite-2*."
        die "sqlite support missing"
    fi
}

How about attaching your nmap build log? Maybe the maintainer should look at this after all.

Must have overlooked it.
Sorry and thanks for your attention.

Not a bug...

...local issue.
