I tried to emerge dev-python/pywebdav-0.9.3 today and it fails. It appears to require dev-python/setuptools and I would have assumed it would install it automatically. Perhaps the ebuild doesn't specify the dependencies correctly? Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure you don't have dev-python/setuptools installed 2. emerge dev-python/pywebdav-0.9.3 3. you should get a build error. Actual Results: >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-python/pywebdav-0.9.3/work/PyWebDAV-0.9.3 ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 9, in <module> from setuptools import setup ImportError: No module named setuptools * * ERROR: dev-python/pywebdav-0.9.3 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 2554: Called distutils_src_compile * environment, line 707: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * ${python} setup.py build "$@" || die "compilation failed" * The die message: * compilation failed * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-python/pywebdav-0.9.3/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-python/pywebdav-0.9.3/temp/environment'. * Expected Results: it should determine the dependency and emerge it as well.
The setuptools dependency really is missing, so thanks for reporting it. Assigning report to pywebdav maintainer.
Fixed in CVS. Thanks
