Bug 58539 – XML-Twig appears to have dependancies not listed in the ebuild (it's failing on t/test_additional -- looks to me like locale issues.... use nls or -nls make no difference... same error on 3.13 amd 3.15)

[Description Ben 2004-07-27 05:19:23 UTC]

XML-Twig appears to have dependancies not listed in the ebuild  (it's failing on t/test_additional -- looks to me like locale issues.... use nls or -nls make no difference...  same error on 3.13 amd 3.15)
The exact tests that fail are:  323  325-331  334  339-340

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge fresh system with 2.6 kernel (not sure if this is a requirement to trip the bug)
2. emerge mythtv (which gets up to XML-Twig and fails
3....
4. Profit!

Actual Results:  
ebuild failes with errors:  323  325-331  334  339-340

Expected Results:  
Not failed and merged successfully ;)

Failed Test:
---------------
t/test_additional.t   441  11  2.49%  323  325-331  334  339-340
Failed 1/61 test scripts, 98.36% okay.  11 of 1371 subtests failed, 99.20% okay.
make:  *** [test_dynamic] Error 255

!!! Function src_compile, Line 34, Exitcode 2

Actually, it looks like 3.15 does work.  not sure what happened different, but 3.15 compiled cleanly today.  The same test (test_additional) caused a warning:  "need Unicode::Map8 and Unicode::String for those tests:  skipping 3 tests" -- so presumably it has to do with the old test case missing unicode things.  (I'm not sure if this is something I've left out of the kernel, or if it's userspace - so I'll leave this open for someone who knows to close it as a bug)

[Comment 2 Christoph Beckmeyer 2004-07-28 06:51:46 UTC]

I could reproduce this using gentoo release 2004.02. On a fresh system an emerge of XML-Twig fails. 

Instead in my production enviroment(where mythtv 0.13 is already installed) same emerge succeeds.

[Comment 3 Klaus Voelker 2004-07-28 13:38:39 UTC]

XML-Twig-3.13 failed to install with the same error. However, 3.15 works fine for me.

[Comment 4 Andrew Rosborough 2004-08-20 09:58:34 UTC]

This seems to be a dependency for freevo too.  I couldn't fix it by emerging 3.15.

[Comment 5 Nick Lassonde 2004-08-25 16:37:36 UTC]

I also had problems emerging XML-Twig. (On PPC), I couldn't install 3.09, 3.13, or 3.15.

I solved this by emerging WeakRef, then re-emerging Scalar-List-Utils. (Simply emerging WeakRef and then XML-Twig did not work for me).

Looks like the bug is that XML-Twig requires WeakRef, and requires a build of Scalar-List-Utils that has been compiled _with_ WeakRef.

I have same problem:

[Comment 7 Antonio 2004-09-02 00:18:32 UTC]

I have emerge XML-Twig-3.15 and install correcly.

[Comment 8 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2004-09-05 08:21:10 UTC]

Looks like the ebuild is indeed missing some deps, but they wouldn't be related
to test 61 in t_additional.t (the missing deps are for html and lwp related
modules used for parsing online content - the test is for identifying a 
particular element in a parse). Will fix the deps this weekend,

emerged XML-Twig-3.15-r1.tbz2 = success.

[Comment 12 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2004-09-26 06:52:08 UTC]

Since 3.15 is now unmasked, and it appears to have resolved both Ben and a few other's problems, closing this one out.
