Bug 33825 – inherit kde breaks emerge ymessenger in the ymessenger ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Georgi Georgiev 2003-11-19 07:03:41 UTC]

I know the reason for the problem I am having. I have /kde-base in /etc/portage/rsync_exclude and I also have RSYNC_EXCLUDEFROM=/etc/portage/rsync_excludes

The ymessenger ebuild starts with "inherit kde rpm" and this is what happens on my system

root@lion root # emerge -pv ymessenger

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies \
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "~kde-base/kde-env-3".

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

I guess the ymessenger would be better off like this:

inheriting kde-functions makes it work, then?

[Comment 2 Georgi Georgiev 2003-11-19 17:36:03 UTC]

Yes. The only thing the ebuild needs the inhertiance for is the variable $KDEDIR. And the variable *is* set in kde-functions.eclass.
