If dev-libs/check is installed when sys-apps/parted is installed, parted links to check even though check is not marked as a dependency and parted installs fine with check not present. This can cause depclean to spit out some warnings and not uninstall check, as in my case where some other package required check but was then uninstalled. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (Assumes check not already installed/a dependency of anything) 1. emerge -1 check 2. emerge parted 3. emerge --depclean Actual Results: * In order to avoid breakage of link level dependencies, one or more * packages will not be removed. This can be solved by rebuilding the * packages that pulled them in. * * dev-libs/check-0.9.5-r1 pulled in by: * sys-apps/parted-1.9.0 needs libcheck.so.0 * Expected Results: check properly uninstalled Note that depclean's suggestion of rebuilding parted does not work, because it re-links to check. Uninstalling check and then rebuilding parted works. emerge --info: Portage 2.2_rc67 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.4.3, glibc-2.10.1-r1, 2.6.34 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.34-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_E7500_@_2.93GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 04 Jun 2010 12:45:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p37 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r2, 3.1.2-r3 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.1.0 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.3-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -ggdb" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -ggdb" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages installsources news parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms splitdebug strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/gentoo-distfiles/ http://gentoo.netnitco.net http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://mirror.lug.udel.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en en_US ja ja_JP" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/home/offtime/gnash/overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync21.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl alsa amd64 bash-completion berkdb bzip2 cairo caps cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cxx daap dbus dri ffmpeg flac fortran gdbm gnome gpm gtk hal iconv ipod ipv6 libnotify mmx modules mtp mudflap musicbrainz ncurses nls nptl nptlonly offensive ogg openmp pam pcre perl pppd python readline reflection session speex spl sse sse2 ssl sysfs tcpd theora udev unicode vorbis xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en en_US ja ja_JP" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Does 2.3 link to libcheck as well?
I can't reproduce this with either 1.9.0 or 2.3. Please post the output of `ldd /usr/sbin/parted' as well.
After investigating, I see it's actually not /usr/sbin/parted, but /usr/bin/disk and /usr/bin/label that are linking to libcheck.so.0. These files are installed with parted if check was installed, but are not installed with parted if check was not installed. /usr/bin/disk with check: $ ldd /usr/bin/disk linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff4d5f1000) libparted-1.9.so.0 => /usr/lib/libparted-1.9.so.0 (0x00007f969f6f7000) libcheck.so.0 => /usr/lib/libcheck.so.0 (0x00007f969f4ee000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f969f195000) libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x00007f969ef90000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f969ed8c000) libdevmapper.so.1.02 => /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.02 (0x00007f969eb6d000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f969f970000) libreadline.so.6 => /lib/libreadline.so.6 (0x00007f969e928000) libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x00007f969e6d6000) I will attach the output of `equery files parted`.
Created attachment 234353 [details] `equery files parted` when parted was installed without check installed
Created attachment 234355 [details] `equery files parted` when parted was installed with check installed
This problem does not exist with parted-2.3, and parted-2.3 does not install /usr/bin/disk or /usr/bin/label
From the NEWS section for the 2.2 release: "make install" no longer installs tests programs named disk and label Looks like this is really a bug that's been fixed, but I should really check (haha) if 2.3 now still needs or could use dev-libs/check in the test phase.
Jeroen, were you able to run the tests?
Should be good. Sorry for responding this late.
