Bug 45110 – packages which have *DEPENDs that don't specifiy categories

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2004-03-19 00:30:13 UTC]

If a package doesn't specify the category for packages that it depends on, it will break if a new package gets added with the name same name.

List of bad ebuilds

Form is of package:depend

This list is probably not incomplete. The script I used does not take into
account different USE flags. By the time most of these are fixed, I should be
able to give a complete list of any remaining.

[Comment 2 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-03-19 01:29:49 UTC]

You have readline false positives that collide with with the USE flag.  Enhance
your tool please.

[Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-03-19 01:32:26 UTC]

Updated list

This should catch all depends missing a category. It also catches a few cases
where a USE flag condition is missing a ?. Finally, it also catches cases where
a depend has a version but no operator or the reverse.

[Comment 12 Brian Harring (RETIRED) 2004-03-19 21:13:38 UTC]

media-video and media-sound fixed.

[Comment 13 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2004-03-20 04:36:52 UTC]

Added a few more checks on *DEPEND strangeness. Only one problem ebuild came up, so here's the output:

sys-devel/gcc-3.2.2:DEPEND ':' with no matching '?'

There's many packages that seem to use brackets for no reason and others that don't have brackets after a use? condition. If those are interesting, I can add that list too.

[Comment 14 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-03-21 00:49:39 UTC]

The problem with that gcc ebuild is this:

!hppa? ( mips? ( >=sys-devel/binutils-2.13.90.0.16 : >=sys-devel/binutils-2.13.90.0.18 ) )

needs to have parens around both binutils bits.

Actually, as the ? () : () syntax is deprecated, it should be mips? () !mips? ()

[Comment 15 Michael Boman (RETIRED) 2004-03-21 06:37:14 UTC]

net-analyzer/amap, net-analyzer/nagios-core, net-analyzer/nikto, net-analyzer/prelude-nagios, net-analyzer/honeyd, net-libs/libwhisker sorted out.

Updated list

Thanks for such a quick response everybody. Not much left now.

[Comment 22 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2004-03-24 09:26:05 UTC]

ok

the script hits eg.
net-analyzer/ethereal
but it's all good

the only real issue is

app-sci/xfoil-6.94-r1  -  DEPEND: virtual/blas not found in virtuals

all other is fixed, closing
