Bug 26766 – i8kutils ebuild does not try to satisfy dependencies. Needs Tk but doesn't try to install. After installing still "needs tk"

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description jason wohlgemuth 2003-08-16 19:21:07 UTC]

After doing an emerge i8kutils and then running some of the files, it complains
that it needs Tk. I then have to manually install Tk. After installing Tk, it
still still says it needs Tk: (same error before and after emerging Tk)

can't find package Tk
   while executing
"package require Tk"
   (procedure "make_ui" line 15)
   invoked from within
"make_ui"
   (procedure "main" line 4)
   invoked from within
"main"
   invoked from within
"if {$tcl_interactive == 0} {
   main
   vwait exit
}"
   (file "/usr/bin/i8kmon" line 670)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge i8kutils
2.i8kmon
3.(error saying needs tk)
4.emerge tk
5.i8kmon
6.(error saying it needs tk)
Actual Results:  
This error is produced:

can't find package Tk
   while executing
"package require Tk"
   (procedure "make_ui" line 15)
   invoked from within
"make_ui"
   (procedure "main" line 4)
   invoked from within
"main"
   invoked from within
"if {$tcl_interactive == 0} {
   main
   vwait exit
}"
   (file "/usr/bin/i8kmon" line 670)


Expected Results:  
The i8kutils ebuild should have automatically installed Tk and be configured to
find it once it is installed.

I cannot reproduce your bug.
i8kutils depends on tk, so it will be installed when merging i8kutils and
i8kmon runs without problems.
Can you please check if this bug still exists for you?

Can't reproduce and reporter doesn't answer, so marking invalid.
