Bug 53297 – gtkdiff does not list gtk+ as a dependency

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ákos Maróy 2004-06-08 04:58:35 UTC]

when emerging gtkdiff, and gtk+ 1.x is not yet installed, it will fail, as gtkdiff does not list gtk+ as a dependecy, even though it requires it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmerge gtk+ 1.x
2. merge gtkdiff
3. see it fail to compile

Actual Results:  
gtkdiff fails to compile if gtk+ 1.x is not already emerged on the system

Expected Results:  
should pull in gtk+ 1.x as a dependency if not already present.

see below, the dependency grapg for gtkiff does not contain gtk+ 1.x:

gtkdiff lists gnome-libs as a DEPEND, which in turn has gtk+-1.2 as a DEPEND.  So something's wrong with the depgraph generation, the way I see it.  Someone from portage team want to correct me?

[Comment 2 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2004-06-08 11:10:25 UTC]

`equery depgraph` only returns runtime deps atm, and gnome-libs is only in DEPEND (RDEPEND is set below). `emerge -ep gtkdiff` includes gtk-1.2 for me.

added to RDEPEND, thanks for the catch.
