I assume app-doc/devmanual-0_pre20131109 needs to depend on media-fonts/corefonts.

I can't reproduce it

Please attach your emerge --info and your emerge -pv imagemagick and emerge -pv graphicsmagick output

I also asked for the emerge -pv imagemagick output. devmanual requires imagemagick so you have to have that installed.

There is something wrong with your devmanual ebuild. Did you edit it by hand? devmanual requires imagemagick but you have graphicsmagick with the "imagemagick" use flag set to it which means imagemagick can't be installed which means you should never be able to use devmanual with that configuration. Please sync your tree to get a working copy of devmanual and try again

[Comment 6 Dennis Schridde 2013-11-22 16:36:24 UTC]

I assume it is a bug in packaging of graphicsmagick then -- I assume it needs to depend on media-fonts/corefonts.

You dont understand what I am saying. devmanual does not depend on graphicsmagick so trying to build devmanual with graphics magic is not supported. Or at least the title is incorrect

I understood GraphicsMagick to be compatible with ImageMagick. Thus I assume media-gfx/graphicsmagick[imagemagick] to be intended as a drop-in replacement for media-gfx/imagemagick. Since graphicsmagick fails where imagemagick succeeds, namely because a font is missing, there seems to be a dependency missing in the graphicsmagick ebuild.

The need for arial.ttf does not seem to come from the SVG file and not from the commandline either. The only other explanation I come up with, is that there must be some stale file left over from when corefonts was installed, which makes graphicsmagick use arial.ttf / provides a bad path for some default font.

So this is a graphicsmagick bug. It has nothing to do with devmanual. So you need to open a new bug.

That is what I tried to say in comment #6. Can you please just reassign this bug?

But I told you these are two different problems

This bug is about adding graphicsmagick to devmanual so it can be used as a replacement of imagemagick.

The missing corefonts dependencyon graphicsmagick is a completely different problem that needs to be resolved on a separate bug by a separate team
