Bug 31598 – net-snmp-5.0.9-r2 has wrong RDEPEND

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) 2003-10-20 08:07:15 UTC]

net-snmp-5.0.9-r2 tries to emerge XFree if you have perl for perl-tk.
It should check for the tcltk USE flag or the X USE flag instead.
And it's marked stable as of today, which is a bad thing(tm).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge -p net-snmp on non-xfree machine.



Possible fix:
change "perl? ( dev-perl/perl-tk )" in the ebuild to
"tcltk? ( dev-perl/perl-tk )".

gentoo policy: mark stable after 3 weeks if there are no open bugs
so what do you expact ?

[Comment 2 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) 2003-10-20 08:50:02 UTC]

I just made that comment because by being stable it can do unnecesary emerges,
just to take that into consideration.

[Comment 3 Andy Dustman 2003-10-20 09:46:55 UTC]

The following patch avoids the dev-perl/perl-tk dependency unless both perl
and tktcl USE flags are set. I was pleasantly surprised that this worked...

It seems the reason this showed up today is that the dependency was only
added about 10 hrs ago.

I see you have a different fix in CVS now.

Another problem related to this ebuild: a sandbox violation

This happens with both the old and new ebuild, i.e. revision 1.4. Your fix
for -X is fine, though.

[Comment 6 Andy Dustman 2003-10-20 11:38:41 UTC]

These are my perl versions (latest stable):
sys-devel/libperl-5.8.0 *
dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12 *

Maybe you need to add:

    perl? ( >=dev-lang/perl-5.8.1 )

I suspect the current 5.8.0 stable perl is what is breaking the build.

[Comment 7 Max Kalika (RETIRED) 2003-10-20 11:41:06 UTC]

5.8.1 is still in very much flux and development. The libperl dependency
is correct.  Please post your emerge --info screen.

Ok, this is really two bugs in one, but as we already resolved the RDEPEND
issue, I also fixed the sandbox problem.  Added DEPEND on >=ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.11-r1.
 Please give net-snmp-5.0.9-r2 another go.

Good, it's working fine on an X-less firewall machine now.
Thanks.
