Bug 304251 – KDE 4.4 depending on semantic-desktop

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mark 2010-02-10 08:38:10 UTC]

I always used KDE <=4.3 with the global useflag -semantic-desktop.
Now there seems to be a requirement for semantic-desktop:

# emerge -puD world
[...]
emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=kde-base/kdelibs-4.4.0[semantic-desktop,-kdeprefix,-aqua]".                                                         
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:                   
- kde-base/kdelibs-4.4.0 (Change USE: +semantic-desktop)                                  
(dependency required by "kde-base/kmail-4.4.0" [ebuild])                                  
(dependency required by "world" [argument])

If this is just an ebuild thing, please disable it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use KDE 4.3 with -semantic-desktop in /etc/make.conf
2. emerge world after sync



Expected Results:  
KDE 4.4 should emerge with -semantic-desktop

I hope that only accidentally the IUSE=semantic was forgotten in the
kde-base/kmail-4.4.0 ebuild? I will try it out and report here when successful.

[Comment 2 Martin Väth 2010-02-11 07:32:38 UTC]

It compiles fine without semantic-desktop and also starts fine,
but after 10 seconds it wants to see the akonadi-server.
Previously, it was fine for kmail to have a "dummy" akonadi-server installed
without backend.
So I reemerged akonadi-server with sql backend, but this did not help.
It seems the kde-base/akonadi is required which in turn needs semantic-desktop.
I did not try to install that without semantic-desktop, since another bug
here suggests that it would not be sufficient: You also need the mysql backend,
i.e. the KDE developers insist on a full-blown database in case you want to
save a few email adresses.

Now they have overdone it. I am not going to continue this testing,
since I will remove KDE.

[Comment 3 Mario Bachmann 2010-02-12 08:37:02 UTC]

same question: is it possible to install kde 4.4 without semantic-desktop? 

[Comment 4 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2010-02-12 08:39:11 UTC]

This was fixed by,

  10 Feb 2010; Tomáš Chvátal <[e-mail]>
  kde-meta-4.4.0.ebuild:
  Wrap semantic-desktop over whole kdepim.

In kdepim, such as kmail, semantic-desktop is now hard depend since 4.4.0.
