Bug 28948 – Blocking kdelibs-3.1.4 from pkg qt-3.2.1

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Hilbring 2003-09-17 00:18:00 UTC]

This is the result of emerge -upv world today: 
 
[blocks B     ] <kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.4 (from pkg x11-libs/qt-3.2.1) 
[ebuild     U ] x11-libs/qt-3.2.1 [3.1.2-r4] +cups +nas +postgres +opengl 
+mysql

qt.3.2.1 has the following depend:
!<kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.4
and in kdelibs-3.1.4 it says:
qtver-from-kdever ${PV}
need-qt $selected_version

I think thats the problem. A circ. dep as usual.

the KDE guys can correct me but there is no bug here

versions *less than* 3.1.4 are blocked by the new QT ... so `emerge -C kdelibs` and then update

Yeah, I think this is what we want.  The main problem is that if you upgrade Qt to 3.2.1, you 
then need to upgrade kde to at least 3.1.4.  I think forcing this block is probably the best 
thing to do here.

------- Additional Comments From [e-mail]  2003-18-09 11:40 EST -------
In the qt-3.2.1.ebuild, the line:

!<kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.4

should do what you want, but it DOESN'T! Perhaps this is a problem with Portage.

I changed the line to:

>=kde-base/kdelibs-3.1.4

and the block was gone (after upgrading to kde-3.1.4).

So, my point is, either fix the ebuild (change "!<" to ">=") or fix Portage. I don't think this is resolved!

umm we really cant have qt depend on kdelibs and vice versa ...

the DEPEND does work to a degree ... you unmerge the older kdelibs which wont work, emerge qt and update KDE and you're done

Shouldn't kdelibs 2 be excluded from the block dependency ?
it use qt 2 instead of qt 3 so there shouldn't be any problem
and if we remove kdelibs 2 some apps won't work

[Comment 9 Martin von Gagern 2003-11-18 03:43:09 UTC]

I'm also curious if the block could be restricted to kdelibs-3.
I guess if "emerge -epo world | grep kdelibs" does not list kdelibs-2, it is likely that most of my apps will still work after unmerging kdelibs-2.
Is that right? (I will post here if I experience otherwise...)

[Comment 10 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-11-18 05:03:26 UTC]

yes, your apps would work fine after unmerging kdelibs2 (unless you have apps that only work with kdelibs2)
