Bug 571076 – [kde overlay] kdeartwork-meta-15.08.3 and kde-plasma/plasma-meta-5.5.2 pull in mutually blocking packages (kcheckpass vs. kscreenlocker)

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Matthias Nagel 2016-01-06 13:43:53 UTC]

kde-plasma/plasma-meta-5.5.2 depends on >=kde-plasma/kscreenlocker-5.5.2:5.

At the same time kde-apps-meta-15.12.0 has the following dependency graph:
(a) kde-apps-meta-15.12.0:5
(b) kde-apps/kdeartwork-meta-15.08.3:5
(c) kde-apps/kdeartwork-kscreensaver-15.08.3:4
(d) kde-base/kscreensaver-4.11.19:4
(e) kde-base/kcheckpass-4.11.19:4

But kde-base/kcheckpass:4 and kde-plasma/kscreenlocker:5 are blocking each other.

Hence, at the moment I use KDE Plasma 5.5 and KDE apps 15.12 without KDE artwork. Essentially, I did not merge the kde-apps-meta ebuild but emerged all dependencies individually except the artwork-meta package.

You didn't post the blocker message, however kde-base/kcheckpass-4.11.22-r1 would be the solution.

Yes, indeed it is. Thank you!

I do not know if is worth to be posted as a bug report and if I should open a new bug report but this problems is another one on top of a list of packages that needs to be unmasked via the keyword "~amd64" in order to merge KDE Plasma 5.5, KDE Framework 5.17 and KDE Apps 5.12 successfully.

In the KDE overlay there are already the files
(a) "kde-frameworks-5.17.keyword"
(b) "kde-plasma-5.5.keywords"
that needs to be symlinked into "/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords". Unfortunately, these both files only unmasks the required packages in "kde-plasma/*" and "kde-frameworks/*" respectively. But there are some auxiliary packages that needs to be unmasked. At the moment for my environment this list of packages is

<app-crypt/qca-2.2.0 ~amd64
=dev-cpp/eigen-3.2.5 ~amd64
<dev-libs/libappindicator-12.10.1 ~amd64
=dev-libs/libdbusmenu-12.10.2-r2 ~amd64
<dev-libs/libindicator-12.10.2 ~amd64
=dev-qt/qtimageformats-5.5.1 ~amd64
=dev-qt/qtpaths-5.4.2 ~amd64
=media-libs/qt-gstreamer-1.2.0-r1 ~amd64
=net-libs/telepathy-accounts-signon-1.0 ~amd64
=net-libs/telepathy-logger-qt-15.04.0 ~amd64
=x11-misc/sddm-0.11.0-r1 ~amd64
=x11-misc/xdg-utils-1.1.0_rc3_p20150825 ~amd64
kde-base/kcheckpass:4 ~amd64

On this list the last entry was just freshly added. Perhaps it would be nice to have a third file "kde-auxilary.keywords" (or similar) that collects all the packages that needs to be unmasked, too, but are not directly in the KDE tree.

[Comment 3 Andreas Sturmlechner 2016-01-06 17:01:05 UTC]

Well, some manual work is always to be expected by someone mixing amd64 with ~amd64 packages. The package.keywords files are only helpers for the kde packages there.

Ok. I mark the report as "resolved" and "invalid".
