Description Maurice van der Pot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-03 03:35:43 UTC
opengl-update uses readline, but coreutils is not in its list of dependencies.
If I look at emerge -pe opengl-update I see that debianutils _is_ in the
dependencies, which is why there hasn't been a problem before. But now that
readline has been removed from debianutils and is only found in coreutils, the
dependencies need to change.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure coreutils isn't installed
2. Make sure debianutils is at version 1.16.7-r3 or higher
3. emerge opengl-update
4. run opengl-update nvidia for example
Actual Results:  
 * Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface...
/usr/sbin/opengl-update: line 1: readlink: command not found
/usr/sbin/opengl-update: line 1: readlink: command not found
/usr/sbin/opengl-update: line 1: readlink: command not found                   
                                                                               
       [ ok ]


Expected Results:  
obvious

Workaround:
emerge coreutils manually before using opengl-update

I'm still investigating if the reason that I am having this problem is that I have installed version 3 and have been 'emerge -u'-ing ever since. I suppose that most people will already be using coreutils instead of fileutils etc.

debianutils-1.16.7-r3 depends on coreutils.  Please merge it.
