Description qdii 2010-09-20 21:53:12 UTC

emerging net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.2.9-r1 or net-libs/xulrunner-2.0_beta7_pre with disabled cups flag fails with dependency issue.

- app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.71-r6 (Change USE: +cups)
(dependency required by "net-print/cups-1.4.4-r2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "net-libs/xulrunner-2.0_beta7_pre" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "xulrunner" [argument])

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. disable cups flag
2. make sure cups is not installed
3. emerge xulrunner

Actual Results:  
xulrunner fails for cups being absent

Expected Results:  
xulrunner should be compiling fine

ebuild seems not to be checking the flag :
from xulrunner ebuild :

Could you paste 'emerge -pv --nodeps xulrunner'?

net-libs/xulrunner-2.0_beta7_pre ebuild does not provide cups flag. net-libs/xulrunner-1.9.2.9-r1 does provide one and it disables the CUPS dependency as expected. If you insist on reporting a bug, then please clean up your system and provide information related to 1.9.2.9-r1.

Hello Michael,
thanks for your answers !

I have been able to install xulrunner without cups by using the --nodeps flag.

Yet, is it normal that xulrunner-2.0_beta7_pre depends on cups ?

That's mozilla team decision, and that ebuild is in mozilla overlay. I guess they have their reasons (maybe some bugs in configure?), and I'm pretty sure the flag will be back there when 2.0 hits the main portage tree.
