Bug 48193 – media-gfx/gimp-print-4.2.5-r2 ebuild broken

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Evgeny Stambulchik 2004-04-18 00:13:27 UTC]

Two things. First, the compilation fails. More importantly, inspite of telling emerge to upgrade, it tries to _downgrade_:

# emerge -Upv  gimp-print
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

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

It might be an emerge bug, but I haven't seen this with any other package.

gimp-print-4.2.5 will fail if you have installed 5.0.0_alpha. you have to remove 5.0.0_alpha first and install 4.2.5 then.

[Comment 3 Evgeny Stambulchik 2004-04-19 23:37:31 UTC]

I did so and yet it fails to build with same errors (notice I have both gimp-1.2 and 2.0 installed).

[Comment 4 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2004-04-24 08:11:59 UTC]

what about gimp-print-4.2.6 ?

[Comment 5 Evgeny Stambulchik 2004-04-24 22:27:03 UTC]

Thanks, 4.2.6 compiles fine. BTW, why it (and other gimp plugins) install for 1.2 and not for the newer 2.0 (or better yet, for both)?

[Comment 6 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2004-04-25 03:35:28 UTC]

because the plugins don't work with gimp-2.0
