Bug 525230 – =dev-libs/glib-2.40.2 with USE=abi_x86_32 fail on =sys-libs/zlib-1.2.8-r1 dependency on x86_64: emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.8-r1[abi_x86_32(-)?,...]

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description tharvik 2014-10-13 09:00:18 UTC]

glib with ABI_X86="32" fail to find an ebuild to satisfy ">=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.8-r1[abi_x86_32(-),...]". If you want to emerge skype with apulse on x86_64, you need glib with abi_x86_32.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo '>=dev-libs/glib-2.40.2 abi_x86_32' >> /etc/portage/package.use
2. emerge glib
Actual Results:  
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.8-r1[abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_ppc_32(-)?,abi_ppc_64(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?]".
(dependency required by "dev-libs/glib-2.40.2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "glib" [argument])

Expected Results:  
Depending on a existing zlib

You forgot to do the same for sys-libs/zlib. Generally that USE flag should be enabled globally.

* echo '=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.8-r1 abi_x86_32' >> /etc/portage/package.use
* emerge glib

It gives me the same error.

And if I do:
* emerge -pqv zlib
It gaves me:
[ebuild   R   ] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.8-r1  USE="minizip -static-libs" ABI_X86="(64) (-32) (-x32)"
Because the ABI_X86 is autoselected. So glib depend on a flag which could not be set.
