Description Derek Gaston 2002-07-05 11:23:28 UTC
I already emailed this to the maintainer but I thought I would go ahead and
create an official record of it here.

It seems as if kdeadmin depend on popt.  I was trying to emerge kde 3.0.2 last
night and it bombed on not being able to find popt.h - I just emerged popt and
then the emerging of kde went smoothly.

So I think popt needs to be added to kdeadmin's dependencies.

good idea to have filed a bug report :)
Comment 2 Dan Armak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-05 13:07:11 UTC
kdeadmin depends on rpm, which in turn depends on popt. So it should have been 
installed. Can you provide some insight as to why it wasn't? Perhaps there's 
something that caused this that should be fixed. 
 
However, it's true that kdeadmin depends on popt directly as well, I checked 
and indeed kapckage links against popt as well as against librpm. I'll add the 
dep, thanks for telling me.

I take back my words! Looking at the kdeadmin ebuild, it already depends on 
both popt and rpm. (Check your ebuild!) If emerge didn't see these 
depeendencies for you, something is wrong. If you have any idea what or you 
expirience any further problems, so that we have something to work with, 
please report. In fact, if you could take the time to unmerge popt and try to 
emerge kdeadmin again and see if popt is pulled in as a dep, it would be much 
appreciated - to make sure that we don't have a bug and you don't have a 
problem with your system :-)

Hmmm... That IS interesting.  I really don't know.  I had a couple of problems
with missing libraries earlier this week - I think it had to do with an "emerge
clean" I did (had never done one - and had a TON of old packages).  I guess this
problem probably arose because of that also.

At any rate it showed popt as 'N' whenever I checked it with --pretend - so
really it probably was never put on there.  I probably just got a bad rpm ebuild
at some point in time (I don't use RPM myself, so would have no way of knowing).

Thanks for you quick response to this probelem!  And keep up the good work!

OK - we had a "Mid-Air Collision" there - that was interesing!  Never seen that
happen before!

I did go ahead and commit my comment though - and you may be able to discern
something from that.

I will do as you said and try unmerging popt and remerging kdeadmin - I will
post back with the results shortly!

Ok - well, I just don't know why it didn't pick it up the first time.

I unmerged popt and then did an "emerge kdeadmin -p" and it correctly indicated
that popt would be installed before kdeadmin.

So - I just don't know, let me know if you want me to do anything else.

No, nothing else. Since we can't reproduce the problem we can consider it a 
one-time thing that shouldn't repeat itself. In any case there's nothing we can 
do. So, this isuue is closed.
