Bug 515834 – failure to resolve to a stable dev-libs/openssl dependency

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Juanlu Pérez 2014-06-30 09:01:42 UTC]

I'm doing a fresh Gentoo install, I got no keyworded packages and no custom USE flags. But stable gnome requires an ~amd64 keyword for openssl

[ebuild  N     ] gnome-base/gnome-3.10.0:2.0  USE="bluetooth cdr classic cups extras -accessibility" 0 kB

Total: 185 packages (1 upgrade, 183 new, 1 in new slot), Size of downloads: 276,959 kB

The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.accept_keywords" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by net-dns/bind-tools-9.9.4[ssl]
# required by net-analyzer/gnome-nettool-3.8.1
# required by gnome-base/gnome-extra-apps-3.10.0-r1
# required by gnome-base/gnome-3.10.0[extras]
# required by gnome (argument)
=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1h-r2 ~amd64

The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by net-voip/telepathy-gabble-0.18.2[-gnutls]
# required by net-im/telepathy-connection-managers-2-r2[-msn,jabber]
# required by net-im/empathy-3.10.3
# required by gnome-base/gnome-core-apps-3.10.0
# required by gnome-base/gnome-3.10.0
# required by gnome (argument)
=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1h-r2 -bindist

bind-tools-9.9.4 has:

  DEPEND="ssl? ( dev-libs/openssl:0 )

Maybe portage blames it on the wrong package.

Could you try:

  emerge -1vp bind-tools

to be sure?

[Comment 2 Pacho Ramos 2014-06-30 15:11:08 UTC]

--autounmask=n can help sometimes to get an error message pointing to right package

# emerge -1vp bind-tools

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8g:0[-bindist]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1h-r1::gentoo (Change USE: -bindist)
(dependency required by "net-voip/telepathy-gabble-0.18.2[-gnutls]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "net-im/telepathy-connection-managers-2-r2[jabber,-msn]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "net-im/empathy-3.10.3" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "gnome-base/gnome-core-apps-3.10.0" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "gnome-base/gnome-3.10.0" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "gnome" [argument])

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2014-07-01 13:13:41 UTC]

Try -avN ("N" for changing the USE)

Solved, I had bindist USE flag enabled. I am not sure why I had it enabled, I think this was because it started complaining about this USE flag.

Probably a duplicate of some other "depgraph resolver is awkward" bug.

[Comment 9 Reva Denis 2025-01-01 10:32:52 UTC]

Is this issue still actual 10.5 years later?
Happy new year!
