Bug 270349 – dev-python/tagpy needs DEPEND on dev-libs/boost with python USE flag

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2009-05-18 19:31:51 UTC]

I just tried to emerge dev-python/tagpy on a system with:
dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r5  USE="eselect expat icu mpi tools -python -doc"

and that fails with a long list of boost related errors (kind of expected).

I think therefore dev-python/tagpy needs to check for a boot built with python support.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

emerge --info and the build.log please.

I added tagpy-0.94.5-r1 to the tree, which should fix it, since the current maintainer seems to be inactive. Please test and report back.

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=dev-libs/boost-1.34.1[python]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r2 (Missing IUSE: python)
- dev-libs/boost-1.34.1-r2 (Missing IUSE: python)
(dependency required by "dev-python/tagpy-0.94.5-r1" [installed])
(dependency required by "world" [argument])

failed: add 
dev-libs/boost python
to package.use

workarround: hack ebuild, create digest

tagpy-0.94.5-r1 is keyworded testing while those boost versions are keyworded stable. I suggest you either use stable tagpy+stable boost or testing tagpy+ testing boost, since mixed environements are usually not tested nor good supported. Nevertheless, i have changed the dependency part, so this error should be gone after your next usual sync.

For the future: Please open new bugs for new issues.
