Bug 238680 – doc flag prevents various current (4.4.2 series) Xfce packages from building

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description flacvest 2008-09-25 19:07:42 UTC]

xfce-base/xfdesktop-4.4.2-r2
xfce-base/xfdesktop-4.4.2
xfce-extra/exo-0.3.4

and various other packages...

The listed packages REFUSED to build with the "doc" USE flag enabled. When I entered "-doc" for them in /etc/package.use then an "emerge -DuNav xfce4" enabled the (finally!) (re)building of the listed (and other related) packages that were necessary to fix my Xfce 4.4.2 installation.

I am bewildered, as the ebuilds listed "die message | no message" or something to that effect.

Apologies for the imperfect documentation but the terminal buffer is short on this system and I don't know how to look at that history any other way than scrolling back through the terminal buffer.

I would be happy to (under guidance) extract any meaningful information from my Installation if someone out there knows how.

BTW I had an "experience" trying to install Pixel image editor beta 7, so it all probably started with that. I had to "emerge -e world" to fix my system... *sigh* that's what I get for testing software...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge xfce-base/xfdesktop
2.OR
3.emerge xfce-extra/exo
4.OR
5.emerge DuNav xfce4

Actual Results:  
the ebuilds refused to build, they would die with "no message" I had to swap USE flags for a day and a half until I whittled (narrowed) it down to the "doc" USE flag per package in "/etc/package.use" for the listed packages. After changing the USE flag to "-doc" for the packages, they WOULD build.

Expected Results:  
I expected that the packages would build with all available USE flags enabled, especially "doc" as this provides you with DOCUMENTATION, hello! :-D I usually read that stuff when I run into a snag before bothering anyone.

I'm still very new to Gentoo Linux amd64 multilib.

Also, I had upgraded GCC to 4.3.1... Please let me know if that's a REALLY bad idea, or the cause of the problems listed.

Please post your `emerge --info' as well as the build logs for the XFCE packages that fail to build with USE=doc.

I hope that's everything you all need to work on these bugs... If I can do anything else, please let me know.

[Comment 10 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) 2008-10-21 17:22:43 UTC]

I suppose the problem boils down to whatever this means:
file:///usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/html/glossary.xsl:0: error : Unknown node type 24015312
make[4]: *** [xfdesktop.html] Segmentation fault
make[4]: *** Deleting file `xfdesktop.html'

I have never seen it before. I will try out the doc USE flag soon here on my ~ARCH chroot and my stable host and see what happens.

Everything worksforme here. I guess my only advice would be to try rebuilding app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets and see what happens. Sorry that I cannot be of more help. Leaving open for awhile.

re-open if necessary, resolving as wfm because no one seems to be able to reproduce this issue =/
