Bug 34488 – gnome-support-2.0.pc requires gnome-common, no gnome-common-2.0.pc

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Derek Dolney 2003-11-26 19:23:41 UTC]

The file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gnome-support-2.0.pc states:

Requires: gnome-common-2.0

but there is no gnome-common-2.0.pc installed with gnome-common-2.4.0. This
messes up pkg-config. For example, `pkg-config --list-all` does not list all
packages, but dies halfway through with an error.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.make sure libgtop is emerge'd
2.pkg-config --list-all
3.should get error

Actual Results:  
Package gnome-common-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gnome-common-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'gnome-common-2.0', required by 'gnome-support', not found

Expected Results:  
list pc packages without errors

I think it's more of a libgtop problem, i don't see why it should need gnome-common and it refers to gnomesupport-1.3 . Seems all a bit off.

I commented out the line in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gnome-support-2.0.pc that says it depends on gnome-common, and everything works fine.  Should I not have done that (don't worry, I made a backup)

This problem seems to be obsolete by now.
