Description Jure Repinc 2009-02-06 16:35:25 UTC
On my system where I have Avahi installed I can't install KDE 4.2 since it depends on kdnssd which requiers mDNSResponder which is blocked by Avahi. As far as I can see kdnssd is used only in one of the KDE Control Center plugins and could be missed so it is not a requirement.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have avahi-0.6.24 installed
2. run "emerge -av kdebase-startkde"

Actual Results:  
I get this output telling me that emerge can't continue:
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Expected Results:  
kdnssd is only a plugin for KDE Control center and should be optional so that you can install KDE 4.2 if you have only Avahi and no mDNSResponder.

If I mask kde-base/kdnssd and try to run "emerge -av kdebase-startkde" again I get:

Comment 1 Rafał Mużyło 2009-02-06 19:14:28 UTC
That's an old problem, often returning to the forums.
You should probably set 'avahi' globally and reemerge
avahi with 'mdnsresponder-compat' useflag (or, at least,
search the forums). 
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-07 17:49:02 UTC
Please emerge kde-base/kdnssd with USE=mdnsresponder-compat. It's probably a good idea to set USE=mdnsresponder-compat globally, or alternatively set it in /etc/portage/package.use
Comment 3 Jure Repinc 2009-02-08 17:19:55 UTC
Thanks to both of you. Setting mdnsresponder-compat use flag did the trick and KDE 4.2 is now compiled and installed. Although kdnssd didn't have this flag, I only had to set it with avahi and that was fine.
