Bug 27475 – RPM failed to compile during ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Q 2003-08-28 06:42:51 UTC]

When I try to emerge RPM it wont compile. I'm not sure how to do a 'stack trace'
as your good example of error reporting suggests, but here at least is the
output from the error: (I'm sorry if it's rather long, but I thought I should
print the output as far back as it went).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -p rpm
2.emerge rpm
3.

Actual Results:  
rpm did not compile

Expected Results:  
rmp should compile

Abbreviated: See atttachment:

bash-2.05b# emerge -p rpm

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

The same bug doesn't allow me to emerge the latest version of prelink in two systems. It's directly related to the new version of elfutils marked as stable. (0.84).

[Comment 4 Stefan Jones (RETIRED) 2003-09-22 00:48:54 UTC]

Try remerging elfutils. For few days elfutils was in portage with the wrong dependancies. If it was compiled without the following deps:

        >=sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.6
        
then you will get the error you have.

Try :

emerge sync
emerge --oneshot elfutils
emerge rpm

I have tested it here and it works, please report.

I take it that it worked fine.
On my test machines I fixed the problem and the fix is in portage.
Closing bug.
